For seats, check with Chris Jordan in PA.  (I think his e-mail is
jordanVW@aol.com)

For a repair guide, go to www.busdepot.com or www.vanagain.com and order the
Bentley and the Haynes manuals.  The Bentley is the "bible" but is not very
user-friendly for the novice mechanic.  They Haynes is supposed to be much
more user-friendly, but lacks some of the authoritative detail of the
Bentley.  (Unfortunately it has no info on the Westy or Syncros, so I don't
have one)
