Re: Middle Bench for 99 EVC
I have explored this avenue with Winebago and VW and they will not
install or sell you the mounting hardware for this seat into a 1995. I think that this is going into a 1995, right? you better check on this or it might be sitting on yoour front porch for beer time.

" Silica jargon " what is it your trying to say here. Let's call this the " Rubber's Rubber argument " That is, all rubber is the same as it relates to tires regardless of its composition. This seems to need some work. And now let's examine your crown jewel. The only thing remaining of your argument. The fact that you guessed I have 51s. You seem to take so much pride in this one that I almost hate to disprove it for fear that my Mac will explode, and by the time I'm done I'm sure there will be a lot of people who wish it would. First of all you say this was a good guess. I agree, since you learned from my sign off that I have a 99 EVC and the 51s have been standard issue on EVCs since early 99, I would've guessed the same. That's not very interesting, what's interesting is that you feel there is some value to this discovery, that you've somehow uncovered some dark secret that you weren't supposed to figure out. But what would that be? That I have EV tires? Excuse me Mr. swlink, but almost everyone on this list has a EV, and they all presumably have tires. So again I ask you, what is the point? Are you trying to say that nobody who owns tires can make judgments on them? This is potentially self defeating in that it states that nobody on this list can make judgments on tires including you. Or is it that there's something different about 51 owners, whereby upon owning 51s their thinking immediately becomes cloudy, which precludes them from making good judgments. This probably sounds OK to you for a bit, but the problem is it would mean that if you by happenstance acquired a set of 51s you could no longer make good judgments yourself, a idea you're not likely to agree with. Or perhaps you're trying to say that we can only make informed judgments. about tires that we don't own ( and therefore have no experience with )? This is not only unlikely, but seems to fly in the face of everything we know about making informed judgments. So Mr. swlink, which is it? Or could it be that your last remaining point isn't a point at all, but just another facetious remark instead. Truly EAB 99 EVC SWLINK@... wrote:

tHE black propane tank cover, its plastic on new campers. Doesanyne know how much they are and a supplier. My VW dealer dosn't list them? Howdo they attach? I bought mine here: I think I spent about $45.00 for it. There are holes on each side of the plastic cover which must be slipped over the existing bolt ends on you propane shield. I recomend that a couple of wing nuts be screwed onto the exposed threads to hold it in place. Ron '97 EVC |

51's have less than 10,000 miles them... I don't expect to be replacing them soon. When the time comes to replace them... I hope that many of the intelligent and informed folks on this egroup can provide me with some good advice on which tire is best for my application. Now... has anyone hear of an Agilis 71? (sorry...

Re: transformers - Does anyone have a readable manuel to look it up in?
fletch
Caroline,
I have several transformers that I brought back to the States with me. Wattages are 1,000, 1600, and 2,000 watt. I brought them back with the idea that we'd be returning to Europe but decided to retire from the military instead. They are available for $25 each but are heavy. If you live in the Northwest then they would probably be worth picking up, otherwise the postage charges make purchasing them in Europe a better deal. Michael |

Re: Surp tensioner pully
Michael G. McCarthy
Thanks Don. ?There's a lot of flex in the exhaust so you are probably right that the exhaust can be left alone during the engine lift. ?Considering how tight the engine bay is, I doubt the engine needs to be shifted/lifted all that much in the first place.

One more question if you would: ?Does your book say any special tooks are required to install/remove the pulley itself (I'm not talking about the special tool that may or may not be required to install/remove the belt)? ?Until I remove the airbox and engine mount I can't get a clean view of the pulley and how it's attached to the block.

My original argument restated below remains unaffected by your Ha Ha I told you so remark or by your further confession that you would chose the 61 over the 51. None of this shows my argument to be any less true. furthermore I've shown how I think your statement that " 61 is much better " is based on a false premise and is not supported by anything on the Michelin web site you keep referring to. My original argument restated: According to Michelin, the 61 is made with a different number, thickness and configuration of belts then the 51. It uses some different architecture and uses different rubber with different thickness for side walls etc... Therefore I go on to say ( and read carefully here ) that this is good reason to believe that the two are in fact quite different. This being the case, I say that it is not logical to think that the performance of the 61 can be inferred from the performance of the 51. Another point of view: It seems to me, that aside from you apparent irrational passion for the 61 and subsequent dislike for anyone who may slow you down in your mission, we agree more then not in this subject. To illustrate this lets for a moment grant that everything you've stated is true. Lets say that the 61 comes in size X and the 51 is unfortunately made only in size Y, and that there is a big difference between the two. This coupled with the fact that the manufacture designates one a road tire, while the other has a mud and snow designation. Do we not have an apple and an orange here? Why is it that an apple and an orange that can't be compared? Because there different. One can not expect to know much about an orange by knowing an apple. Isn't this what my argument says? One can not expect to know much about the 61, by knowing the 51. One last thought: Many 51 owners on this list have testified that there good. I've never read a posting from a 51 owner to the contrary. Although not conclusive, it's some reason to think the 51 is good. Why would some people be so irritated by this? If I encountered numerous testimonies ( which I may in the future ) saying the 61 is great! and that view was equally popular to the current consensus among 51 owners. I would delight in the knowledge that when my 51s wear out I could rush out and get tires that are even better! I personally don't see any down side what so ever. Could some one please explain.

Surp tensioner pully
Donald Gibbons
I suspect that the engine mount has to come out to do anything to
this tensioner pulley. The Book says this too and goes on to say that the tensioning mechanism requires the engine to be lifted slightly to replace that too. If you are very lucky there will be enough room so you will not have to disconnect any exhaust parts. The tensioning mechanism is spring loaded and self adjusting. |
