First let me say, this is the best resource I have ever seen for these amazing vehicles! I am still very much a newbie, but everyone here should be very pleased with the help offered by the list members! My question is concerning the replacement of my flue vent cover. I called up a couple of my local VW dealers (what am I thinking??) They quoted me a price of $230.00 Cdn. Apparently I cannot buy a replacement flue vent cover I have to buy the entire assembly. This isn't really an option. Does anyone have any suggestions? Make shift riggings perhaps? Used parts resources? I live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. Winter is going to be really cruel on my baby. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Jon Whittington '85 Vanagon GL Westie (With leaking heads...no surprise there ;) |
