tim.....where do you think most of our type 4 knowlege/adaptation(I.E. upright
conversion)/many parts come from?...folks in Europe have been using the type4
in beetles, buses, etc for many years...we are *WAY* behind them....that is
where people like Jake Raby, etc, have gotten the "bug" over the type 4....
