The Oct-Dec 1995 issue of the VW e-zine FUNKENGROOVIN has an INCREDIBLY
detailed article on this exact conversion, and I mean step by step 4
pages excellent.  I would strongly reccomend it for anyone thinking
about a BA6 install in van or bus.  For some reason the article,
Heat The Bus by Jack Reed does not appear in the archive on their web
site so if anyone wants it email and I'll snail mail you a copy.  Maybe
I'll type it in if I feel really enthusiastic and we could get it
archived.
