1996.02.15 TYPE II LITERATURE AVAILABLE The following collection of owner's manuals and other literature related to Transporters is available from other VANAGON list members. Most of these manuals are out of print and hard to come by, and therefore the holders have offered to make copies for the benefit of others. Some of these manuals are quite lengthy, so PLEASE: no idle curiousity requests. For the larger repair type manuals, it might be advantageous to request certain sections rather than the entire manual. In any case, "contributions" to cover postage and copying fees would probably be appropriate, or offers to trade for literature you have. Please contact Pat Walsh for corrections to this list or if you'd like your name and literature added (or removed). Thanks!
