Subject:Diesel conversion
From:TJ Hemrick

I'm looking for up to date sources for whom can provide parts/services (loom
work, immobilzer, etc.) for doing a diesel conversion (in my case a VW 1.9
TDI).  I know several on the list have been done but a lot of the links I've
found are no longer up to date or in business doing diesel conversion.
 Again, I don't need a place that does the work, (turnkey or otherwise) just
provides parts and stuff.  I've seen some of the BioDiesel guys throwing
their hat in the pile but need to give them a shout to check them out if
they will do just parts.  FYI, just to avoid a flame war over "mounting
angles", I'd consider either the 15 degree or the 50 degree.  I was
previously against the 50 degree as I did not want to mod the engine cover
but I've softened my position on that since my Syncro won't be too bothered
if the back deck isn't "perfectly" flat.

Thanks,

TJ
