Hi Bill, I agree to all the terms. No problem about the speedo, mine works fine. I'm glad when I can get rid of the HUGE clock (it doesn't work anymore anyway). Ship to: Karl Batzler 54-420 Eisenhower Drive La Quinta, CA 92253

Thanks for your help Karl Batzler 84 Vanagon 191,000 miles and counting. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Knight <bill@ns.esc.state.nc.us> To: 'KBatzler' <KBatzler@email.msn.com> Date: Monday, October 19, 1998 6:18 AM Subject: RE: Tach for Vanagon
