I finally found a local mechanic who knows Vanagons. He had my '87 Syncro (hardtop) up on the lift and immediately noticed that I'm missing some pieces.They are the rear protective cross bar (part # 251703797) and the rear underrun bar (part # 251018905E). I had no idea since my vehicle is the only Syncro I've ever been underneath. I have the front protective cross bar and could probably fabricate the rear one. I never go off road, I got the syncro for snow mainly and then driving on dirt or muddy roads. Do I really need these pieces? Does anybody have them for sale? I've searched Bus Depot, GoWesty and Van Cafe websites with no luck. I did use the Googles for the part numbers and found quite a few suppliers that I've never used or even heard of. I will try the samba.com, the Syncro yahoo group, and the f-book groups, but I prefer the List. Thanks in advance. Steve87 Syncro PS The mechanic I discovered is named John. He runs Fast Addiction on Rt 30 in Bomoseen, Vermont. He can be reached at fastaddiction.com or 802-468-5551. He worked at the local VW dealer during the 80s and 90s. Great guy, very fair prices. |
