&&i might add my $0.02 (rapidly depreceating Canadian dollar) i think the
&&pans we are referring to are slightly different. Some 68-79 Kombi's and
&&Westy's had the belly pans that fit under the middle of the van to cover
&&the heater tube etc. whereas the splits had a pan that bolted underneath
&&the front pedals etc. to keep the cables free of road grime. do others know
&&more than i (entirely likely!!!!!!). Were there "skid plates" or whatever
&&you want to call them available on post 68' vans (i,e,the pan that bolts
&&underneath the the cab section's pedals and cables?

If these do exist for the 68-71 (or later) breadloaves, I'd sure like 
them.  Nothing like driving on a slushy day and getting delayed responses 
from both clutch and accelerator pedals--scary!!  Plus, I imagine some 
reduction in engine/road noise...

Off to the Parts Yard!!
