hi Dave,=C2=A0
I remember having seen a van that have it at Syncro Fest some year ago... i=
t looks like a flap that close and open the fresh opening and at that time =
I am not interested and I didn't investigate further.
fyi... I have read somewhere that all the cars from Europe have some sort o=
f continuos fresh air flowing into the cabin.. supposedly to keep the drive=
r alert and not drowsy on long distance trip.... the reason is (as they say=
) the carbon dioxide (CO2) form our breathing could make us drowsy and less=
alert on a long drive... of course we can remediate this by opening a wind=
ow a crack... and that Air Recirculator from Chris is mean to control that =
fresh air flow.
I hope this help.dan

I'd first make sure that the lever connecting to the airbox are doing what
they are supposed to do.
Other than that, I'd just get a 12 volt DC fan and place it strategically
so that it blows air the way
you want it to.

Subject: Re: Looking for steering intermediate shaft for Power Steering 2wd
Thanks Jim! I found one for $60 from a guy in California that I have used
before. He is on eBay as Vanagonrecycler and is a good source. I found 5
in a junk yard in Oregon but they wanted $200 each for them if I bought all
5! Yikes! Maybe I haven't been charging enough for my used parts. Who
knew a shaft that most people will never need could be worth it's weight in
gold. =F0=9F=98=80
