This has since been resolved. It was on a single shipment of 09171OE's
that the we imported some time ago (and is long gone). Different U.S.
and European spec aircooled Vanagons and Busses take the same wire set
but with variations in length, and unfortunately the ones they sent us
came up a bit short for some U.S. applications. Thanks to prompt
feedback from Tom and a couple of other listmembers, we were able to
notify them of the problem quickly, and our next shipment came with
longer wires.
