HI

I have a 91 syncro westfalia which I recently acquired.  It has the
standard syncro fuel tank in the back as well as the usual (non-syncro)
tank up front under the passenger seat.  It is a neat set up except I
never know how much gas I have in the reserve tank.  I would like to
install a gauge to show me this.  I initially figured on installing a
normal vanagon sender and running the input to a gauge on the dash.
Being a simple person at heart and in mind I then thought - why not use
the existing gauge?  Is it possible to place a switch in the fuel sender
circuit so that I could switch the gauge input from the front to rear
sender (and back)?

As regards snow tyres.  Here in Alaska we need studded tyres and I
wanted to get another set of steel wheels to mount them on so I don't
have to mount and unmount my summer tyres each season.  I wasn't sure if
any VW steel wheel would work so I dropped the spare to compare that
wheel with my Brother-in-law's golf wheels but my spare, to my surprise,
is also an alloy wheel.  So can anyone help me here?  Can I buy a set of
steel wheels off any VW (old or new) and have them work?  What about lug
bolts - I presume they are different than those for the alloys?

TIA.
