This will keep the bolts from dropping down into the cylinders. When putting the cooler back, put a rubberband around the bolts above the case. When you tighten the cooler bolts, the rubberband will be pinched out of the way. There was a wrench made to hold the bolts while tightening, but I doubt if it is still available. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
