Hey all,

I've got a bunch of front heater cores coming in from Germany on my next
shipment.  Your major west coast Vanagon vendors will have them for sale in
about 2 months.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: Front heater core project going forward

OK, thanks to all who emailed about helping with this project.  Neil
sent me some detailed measurements that has allowed the manufacturer to
give me a ball park figure of around $475 a unit.  For a custom made
short production part I think this is not a bad price.  What I need now
is someone to ship me a bad core that you don't care if it gets cut up.
The manufacturer needs one to cut open and check the internals.  If you
are interested in helping in this way please
send it to:
Van-Again
2001 Lakeshore Dr.
Millville, NJ 08332.

If you help you will get a discount on a core or some other discount
from me in the form of credit on a parts order, free shipping etc.
Pmail me to let me know it is on the way so that I can tell everyone
else who may be interested in helping to hold off.

I really appreciate your help.  I these new cores are going to be all
metal and should last another 20 years.  I am just glad to have
something to help people keep their vans going.  You can always bypass
your rear core but the front one is kinda important in the winter
(defrost and heat).

Thanks in advance,
Ken Wilford
