Does the Bostig user forum have any info on a mechanic local or not
too far from you that could do the install?

Or, maybe Bostig has suggestions of a shop who've done the install and
would stand behind their work?

IMO, a licensed mechanic with Vanagon experience should be able to do
that swap w/o too much of a learning curve or w/o spending inordinate
amounts of time online, and/or reading the provided info.
