Thanks to all who responded with suggestions on what to do about the hard to 
find exhaust crossover pipe on my '80 Vanagon.  

Do to not being able to find the original part and time constraints with 
getting ready to go away next week, I got the alternate exhaust package from 
my local VW guy.  Looks pretty good, and I still have the catalytic 
converter.  Other replacement packages don't seem to have this and I was 
afraid of having trouble with inspection.  

So tomorrow morning we're set to leave to go camping with my son's scout 
troop - I'm in charge - what a joke :) .  Already have tons of stuff to do 
to get ready and this morning the house air conditioning goes out - needs 
new fan motor.  Go to get that and the van has a flat tire!  I must be jinxed.  

Got to get away to the woods.  Nothing to break down there.  Thanks again to 
all!

Have a good week in civilization!
