Hi Gregg.

Not my pics.    :)

Since Brett's in Vancouver B.C.  ....

Got grommets from VM Autohaus in Burnaby.
http://www.vmautohaus.com/company.php And crossover pipe. Possibly
their last one. (this was a while ago)

Van-cafe and/or Go Westy has a crossover pipe solution and reseal
kits. Fuel line can be had most anywhere.

There's info in archives for tank reseal.

Additional parts I wish I'd done while tank was out?  5 spd
transmission?   <grin> Kidding. Check/clean tank level sender ground
(connection on frame). Inspect plastic "T" on EVAP nylon hoses.

Tips you didn't ask for: do *all* work required, don't reuse seals.
Expansion tank "roll over" valve plastic can break when removing
valve. IIRC van-cafe has an aftermarket grommet for expansion tanks
and possibly new valves. Maybe Bus Depot has too?

I'm don't know the later MY Vanagons so not sure what else to check
"up there" when tank out.

Neil.
