Hi,
I get over there sometimes, like to go to German Transaxle.
The guy is welcome to pmail me about electrical, or any other, issues.
I might even do 'mobile vanagon repair' over there, if that worked out.
I consider Bend my back yard - can't even begin to count how many times I've
been there. Kind of a 'standard deal' for me to be over there, dealing with
Vanagon stuff.  Been doin' that for years and years actually.
I deliver and ship parts there too, as you may recall .
