Hello gang. I have had great success with last weekend's work on my vanagon
engine. With the help of David Milo and his son Peter, and Eric Zeno, with
the constant omnicient guidance of Walt Spak, the engine is back in the van,
and everything is mounted up. Now what's left is installing the muffler,
hooking up the coolant systems, and plugging everything in. The gas tank
also has to be finished with its assembly (one of the expansion tanks in the
wheel well needs a hole drilled and a new bolt installed, as the current one
broke off)......but i think it should be running next weekend! But....now i
need to find two parts that have proven to be unuseable.
I'm looking for a set of "good used" pushrod covers (tin) for a 1.9 engine.
I'm also looking for a muffler support for a 1.9. Technically, I don't need
the "support rods" as mine are good, but the strap and the bracket the strap
connects to.....this item i can't find for sale new or used anywhere. So, if
anyone is sitting on a pile of pushrod tin and thinking to themselves "I
wonder what this is worth in scrap?", i think i can pay above scrap
value....

If anyone knows of any vendors with these for sale, i looked and can't find
either (well, i did find the tin but i think it was $160/piece!).

Thanks again!
