Re: 2.1l petrol fuel hose replacement

I was planning on doing this this weekend on my 1.9, and have never heard anyone suggest that it can't be done at home before.

Waeco CRX-50 fridge

I'll be removing the old and inefficient three way fridge from our '84 Westfalia soon, and replacing it with a Waeco CRX-50. For those that have done it, did anyone also use the flush mount frame?

Early T25 fusebox upgrade?

Has anyone considered changing out an early T25 fusebox for the later ce1 (or ce2) combination relay and fusebox? I'm researching the headlight relay upgrade for our 1984 US Vanagon, and think that a ce1 fusebox would be a much neater solution. I'm guessing that it's likely to be a lot of work, but ...
