Thanks, you're welcome and yes it was worth it!

Re: '85 Vanagon.

My Bentley, sez: radius arm changes Nov. '84, but newer style brakes
from '86+.  Have a look around the archives. I can't recall, but it
may be that the newer front brakes AND radius arm started at the
changover in  '85.

IF so.....

Radius arm is an easy visual check. It threads into the lower control
arm. The newer brakes are a better design.

Neil.
