I would not know how to reach him then. Sorry Sammy.
Sent almost from, but not quite, somewhere else. A nod to Douglas Adams.

Subject: [tcb] Help for a bus friend
I have a friend in Nacogdoches who has an 85 bus with a Subaru engine who has a
couple of problems that someone on the list may be able to help with.
One: He is looking for a later model Vanagon for use as a parts bus. If
anyone knows of a stripped out, non running Vanagon suitable for a parts car
that is for sale could you please give some contact info.
Two: He is having a brake problem that has both him and myself stumped (but as
you know I know almost nothing about busses after 67). And he is an expert
mechanic (is the agricultural mech professor at SFA). The problem deals with
brakes. Brakes on his 85 give the impression of air in the lines. He has bled
the system numerous times. Lasts a couple of weeks and then gives the same
symptoms again. Every time he bleeds it he gets air out of the right rear.
Says he has bled a total of 8 quarts of brake fluid through the system. Has
replaced the master cylinder with a new one. Then replaced the master cylinder
with another new one of a different manufacturer. System has no leaks that he
can find. Not knowing anything about the brake systems with the vacuum booster
I suggested that it might have a bad canister (or whatever you call those
things). Anyone have any idea? If so, let me know and I will pass it along.
