Anyone know what sort of screw one could use to replace the small screw that attaches the heat shield for the lower coolant house to the thermostat housing? Yes, I dropped it and it appears to have gone to the upside down. _________________ 1984 Vanagon GL

Being SAE it's not an exact match, but a #8 x 5/8" hex-head sheet metal screw will do the job. _________________ Shop for unique Vanagon accessories at the Vanistan shop:
