But if I  had to pick the one thing that tickled me most when I
discovered it, it'd  have to be that toothed bushing on the back of the
alternator adjustment  bolt that engages with that rack on the  slotted
arm.

    That was not a Vanagon feature.  None of the  Vanagons I own have it nor
do 95% of the ones that come through my shop.   It's a rare, rare day when I
see one on a Vanagon.  It was a VW accessory  that could be purchased for any
VW.  Don't know it they are still  available.
