Default Next fix please

Great to see Vans respond eventually to the sight gauge issue. My hope is they will do the same for the luggage compartment panel that you have to remove to inspect the tailcone area, only possible after you remove the fuel tank. Please give us an engineered version of the many split panels out there .

Yes...please, and quite soon I hope. With apologies for the drift.

Man, Wayne, this is one good-looking quantity label! Assume you designed and manufactured yourself. I'd like one like that!

And I never dreamed that those holes were drilled at exactly a gallon apart!
