List -

Tomorrow I reassemble - Vanagon Gods willing.  I have a couple lose ends.

1.  For those that saw my flywheel in previous post, recommended was
everything from cleaning - to machining.  Or should I just pick up a new
one?  $90 doesn't seem that bad.  Would cost that much to machine I am
thinking- let alone finding a shop to do it.  I would have new clutch and
flywheel then.

2.  THe felt dust cap.  Can't seem to find at Bus Depot site.  Can I
fabricate one?  How do you install?  DOes it go on backside of flywheel?

3.  Gear oil?  Can I use the modern #4 or do I have to find the #3.  I
think I am right on the numbers.  Some say the new stuff frys all the
brass in the gearbox.  Others say the newer stuff is fine.

4.  Bearings?  Any more than the pilot and throw-out?
