Whoe! Just read Ken's response on cutting the front of the rear heater
setup, and I sure must have done something wrong when I replaced the
entire unit under the rear seat of my '85.  I went to the parts yard,
their guy and I went out to the yard, selected one from an '86 or '87
Vanagon, he pulled about three or four screws, cut the hoses, and handed
it to me.  I went home, opened up the seat, pulled the whole unit and
reconnected the hoses and was buttoned up in about 20 minutes and never
cut anything!  In fact, I kept the original (for fan motor, etc in case
I need it later) it's still in the basement storage unit.  What am I
missing?? Mine came out and went in without a hitch.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am
not sure that you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
