Another option: Vintageair.com - makes aftermarket air conditioning units that will fit in the Vanagon's dash board. So you can that cool emitting close by. Daryl at AA Transaxle installed one in his Syncro and is pleased with the results. -- Michael Rasmussen, Portland Oregon Riding to support treatment of arthritis - soon to affect one in four I will match your donation 1:1 Help out today: http://tapcc.kintera.org/michaelrpdx Other Adventures: http://www.jamhome.us/ or http://westy.saunter.us/ Fortune Cookie Fortune du jour: When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~ Elizabeth West, Hovel |
