Bob that was damn funny, Frank also...........

Ha ha ha the damn plate..........

My 2 upper tab were (maybe where!!! damn English)!!!!!!not there!!!

So I bought 4 x 1inche by 1 feet brass plate (1/8 thick) at my hobby shop
for $1 each and screwed those one under the plate bending them 90deg and
attach them elsewhere. I basically replace the 2 missing upper tab each
side�

Only God can remove the VW remaining broken heads bolts with the engine
still in the van.

Rusted heads bolt are a typical VW problem!!!!!!!!!! Any cars of those
years have the same problem�

Last week we had to partially remove a complete engine (about 1 feet in the
air) to have access to the rear 89 VW Jetta broken heads bolt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not the first time I do that�

Lol, Ben
