Hi Volks, I saw a couple of posts about the differnet engine lids offer on vanagons thought the years and got to wondering. Does the heavyer metal lid block the sound any better than the plastic one? Kenyon Farely made a good point about the plastic lid melting in the event of an engine fire. . I have both lids right now. In fact I removed the metel lid for the lighter palstic lid on my '82 'GTi' camper. I also thought the insulation on the plastic lid looked better that the metal one. The metal lid's had fluffy stuffing like stuff and the Plastic lid is foam. I'm looking for more input on this subject. Thanks. Take care. -- -Jim Digennaro ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LiMBO, The Late Model Bus Organization, international zzzzzzzzzzzzz_ |E[__][__]|[_]\\ '82 Westfaila 'GTi' | _ LiMBO| _ || 'The VW DJ' =-( )------( )-== James Digennaro, LiMBO Treasurer, Merchandise sales and Webmaster. 20 First St E-mail: limbo@bcn.net Adams, MA 01220 URL: http://www.bcn.net/~limbo/ LiMBO LINE: (413) 743-1814 'Transporters By The Tunnel' A fun camping event held July -----------------------------------------------------------------------
