Hi Karl,

I tried looking for them this morning just for the heck of it and can
no longer find them new. I will check again when I am at a laptop this
evening.

Yes, they can be installed on an '85 or in your case, your '95. ;-)
since they did make Caravelle's and Microbuses well past 1995, I can't
assume you made a typo. Should I chuckle or be jealous? Doubt that
Sticky-knee will let spend money on a 1995 version of a Vanagon from
South Africa. I'll just have to be content with a chuckle.

Ben
