Heh.  Seat belt buzzer, eh?

I think somebody did some significant fiddling with my '84 Wolfsburg
Westy before I adopted it last May.

I have a seat belt light, but no buzzer.  Haven't checked whether
there's wiring in the latch.

And I don't have a key-left-in buzzer.  Was that in there originally?

I've also wondered about my instrument cluster: I like having a tach,
but do I gather it wasn't stock in '84?

I had a similar experience in Napa, California, last week.  I was
biking back from errands to where my Westy was parked, when I saw a
brown Westy go through the intersection ahead.  And it had a Fiamma
bike rack on the back.  For more than a few seconds, I was sure
somebody had stolen my camper!

Until I noticed it wasn't the Wolfsburg two-tone paint scheme.  What a relief!
