Here's the one from the Samba: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=272333

There's some good information here for anyone interested.

I actually thought about using some JB Weld instead of having them spot welded, as overheating them seems to be a big problem. I need to change mine out this summer.
