Today at the junkyard I picked up a fair condition 1985 Vanagon Owner's
Manual and Maintenance Schedule. It is free to anyone out there who
needs it, but please respond to me off the list as I am not currently
subscribed.

Also, a general non-vanagon question to those of you handy with tools
and fasteners:

I am consulting for a tool manufacturer,  trying to determine the
application for a peculiar tool. It is a set of hex male wrenches (like
allen wrenches) with a non-tamper feature that consists of a small
round  hole in the center of the hex. What I mean is that the wrenches
have a small hole in the center of the hex. The fastener would have a
dowel or post in the center of the opening. A standard Allen will not
fit, as without the hole in the wrench it will not fit.

I found one of these fasteners in a junkyard once before, which is what
started all this, but I am having trouble finding more of them. My
question is whether anyone out there is familiar with this and if so,
what have they seen it on. I've been looking at throttle bodys, engine
sensors, etc. where the manufacturer may want consumers to leave an
adjustment alone. So far, no hits.

Thanks
