I have a 1979 Westfalia Deluxe Bus and my heat exchangers are on their last legs. On my old '79 Bus, when the heat exchangers disintegrated we did a hybrid solution with '82 Vanagon heat exchangers (same heads, apparently) and a '72 Bus muffler. As I recall, the advantage of this was that the '72 Bus muffler was a lot cheaper to replace.
I could also just spring for the $250 per side replacement heat exchangers (assuming I can find them in stock) for the '79 Bus.
Anyone have ony good advice to offer? Any replacement heat exchangers to recommend or to advise against? Best places to buy them? Any other ideas on how to proceed?
I live in the Northeast, so going without heat exchangers is not an option.
