Hi  Jim,

I found it on Greaseworks site after Don Hanson mentioned it on another
list. I know I had looked there before, but the classifications they use
for components may have confused me.

Thanks to all who responded on this one.

So... are there any US residents here willing to mule one of these to
the June Jitterbug VW Show in Niagara Falls this weekend? I will order
it shipped direct to you, you don't have to buy it for me. Or do I just
wait until Thursday when the Canadian postal workers will be legislated
back to work. (They are currently locked out).

Thanks!

Happy Trails,
