Thanks Dennis,but this is an apples-oranges comparison. I routinely change
tires.Infact I had 14 flats in 40K miles.Didnt break a single stud or
wheel. One flat had the head of a 7/16 inch bolt on the inside of the
tire,instead of the usual pointed end!!!! Now how did that happen?? Had a
gas station fix it. They couldnt figure why the object wouldnt come
out.They removed the tire from the wheel,and there was the head on the
inside.Explanations?I will change some more flat tires in the near future,I
am sure.I still drive.
 Not gonna touch that switch.Dont have to,so why do it with such
interesting luck?What I am going to do is buy this Ebay item
320035643961.It is a sandwitch plate that fits where the oil filter goes.A
oil filter then fastens to it.No hoses or pipes. Several take off points
are in the plate  for oil pressure switches and such.Very interesting  and
useful to Vanagon owners with good pressure switches.I have heard on this
list of a need for this item,many times.Nobody had knowledge of it.Check it
out. Good for a gauge and oil light and even more.
