Yup-- until you hit that REALLY, REALLY big bump you weren't expecting. Then you'll find out just how much VW engines resemble aircraft engines. Obviously you haven't hit it yet, and maybe you never will. What the hell, why pay an extra $4.95 for a lousy bolt you'll PROBABLY never use? -Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '71 VW transporter w/4 eng mnt bolts P.S. Are some of your wheels missing a lug?
