Hector, Ryan, et al:

You guys hit on something that I feel fairly strongly about....

Let's not discuss stealing from Robert Bentley Publishers on the list
please. If you need a copy of the Bentley for your ride. BUY IT.  It
is a copyrighted work, it most likely has a fairly slim margin and if
Bentley decides to stop publication of such things, we all lose.
Apparently you folks are not aware that Stan Wohlfarth, one of
Bentley's editors, monitors this list. Our input has helped to ensure
that the latest edition of the Vanagon manual is more accurate than
the previous edition. Let's not give them reason to stop doing that.
Besides, stealing is just not right. Especially stealing tools. And
the Bentley service manuals are most assuredly tools.

New they're about $63 through Amazon. (Or about a tank and a half of
fuel.)
There's one on TheSamba for "make offer." <http://www.thesamba.com/vw/

Michael,  ask all the "stupid questions" you need. That's why this
list is here.
