I was contacted yesterday by a Vangoner who is stranded in Mt Shasta
California for want of one of the outer (alternator) sheaves of the diesel
Vanagon two-pulley setup. Let's call it the top pulley of the stack, the
one with the shims under it that Scott hates. I am figuring that since
Scott removes every one he comes across he has a spare.

I have a spare too but I can't find mine. I can find every other bit and
piece of that engine but one of those sheaves.

If anyone has one to sell to get this guy going again, I will arrange the
sale either directly or through me. I'm not going to add anything to the
cost, just would like to see the part at the shop by monday as I promised
him before I began my futile search.
