hmmm...  i dont know what RI's youve been talking to jeff... but i know of a
local guy in my town with a '90 DoKa (he's on the vanagon list too..he'll
speak up if he wants) and he contracted with a RI when bringing his Doka in from
Ontario.  the fee was $300. thats it.   the hardest part is getting the letter
of conformity from the A$$holes at VWOA product compliance...
