   I should pick up one of those tools, I bet it is handy.
  In the future whenever one of my brakelines go, I want to replace it with stainless steel, cause I plan on having my bugs...well, forever.  ( At least my daughters do).
  I've seen one in a hardware store the other day, noticed it had different holes sizes in the tool.
Is there a particular size I should get for a bug?  I dont know anything about these tools..

       Oh and sky oil pressure switch

omg I'd forgotten already!  ack.

but I can't order anything for a few more days cause I thought my wallet was stolen and cancelled my visa card.  found my wallet under some crap.  whoops.  ..the bank says it takes 5-7 days to get me my card, but they can get it overnight for $16...  grrr..  actually now that I think about it in a calmer mood, it probably costs nearly that much just to overnight it.  so maybe they're not taking advantage of the misfortunate (or in my case, merely foolish) as much as I thought...

hey anyone want to help me adjust my brakes?  apparently you're not supposed to move the pedal halfway down before it engages.  who knew?  and apparently when it engages it's not supposed to make a dull thunk-thunk-thunking sound.  well that much I knew :)

I know I'm a little late to this topic, but if I can get it back on track...Westfalia never made hi-top campers that I know of.  Those were all aftermarket conversions:  Adventurewagen, Safare, and Dormobile.  Westfalia got their camper busses shipped to them directly from the factory; the others I'm not sure of.  You do indeed appear to have an Adventurewagen.  I've attached a few pics posted by theSamba member:  Adventurewagen.  If you do a in search the gallery for him you can see all his pics.
