There are three things on a vanagon that go all the way back to aircooled
days that haven't changed, off the top of my head. One is the round
headlight ring, one is the wire bail that secures the valve covers and then
there are the valve covers themselves. I'm not 100 percent sure about all
that, anyone know for sure? And is there anything else?
