New Bails- will do the trick--
around 3 bucks or so for the real VW ones..

right Ken??

I just bought 4 off them should do the trick.
 for 2-Vans

Can covers warp?? why not-
Bails first--covers later

I think they put all the extra screw-nuts and bolts in my Mercedes-

Hey vanagonites,

Good to be back on the list again, I signed out before last summer when
I went travelling around.  Great summer of cycling and paddling in my
trusty westy base campmobile. My van held up great through many miles
this summer.

On to my question.

I had leaks coming from the valve covers, so I pulled them and replaced
the gaskets, but I still have leaks.  What next?  Is it common for the
bails or covers to need replacing?  To the bails get "less tight" over
time?  Do the covers warp?  Mine have surface rust, but they don't look
too bad.

Any ideas?

Greg.
