I understand the problem.Really I do.Not only with Vanagon screws,but with
anything you folks want to buy from us.Most of us are unaware of the
problem down here.However,I dont need the headachs of lost shippments.

In one month of selling Vanagon  parts,I got 1 death threat,1 person who
bought a part and gutted it.Claims I send a bad part.A friend of the death
threat person bought a part(the threat was full of WARNINGS and a  person
named WARNER bought my cheapest part minuteas after I got the  threat )and
I wont sell to him. ect ect ect. I mean why create a situation for myself
that will make life a pain,when I dont have to?

Im gonna get two negative feedbacks out of this(my first) ,but I dont care.

I dont ship without delivery confermation,period.I use insurance (ups) or
pay extra for USPS insurance( a racket- $1.30/$50)for evern $20 parts.I
test my aprts and adjust them or paint or fix them.I tell the buyer other
wise in the sales ad.They need to read themmmm.

Anyway,tomorrow,I will send to vanagon list many pictures of the screws(10
or 20).I found westy utility box screws that fit.A size 6 flat head is too
small. A size 8 is too big. Many vendors use a size 6 oval head to get by.I
found a size 7 sheet metal screw in stainless steel.A perfect fit.And you
cant have them, up there in Canada(just kidding).I found them in my last
trip to Switzerland :>) buying Vanagon parts. They will be here by labor
day. Sorry,they are only going to be avlaiable in a weaty kit.Business ya
know.
