You can buy it from www.busdepot.com (well known to
this list) and you can read my write-up on the procedure
at:  http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-
bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0005C&L=vanagon&P=R18734

You should know about the vanagon archives
http://gerry.vanagon.com/archives/vanagon.html  and how
to search them, nearly EVERYTHING has been
discussed there.  Good luck.  Malcolm
