As I mentioned in my post, I just grabbed one URL to illustrate the
product. This is not the actual product I used, as far as I know. There are
numerous suppliers, none of which I know anything about. I do know that the
ones I used over the weekend proved to be everything described in the
product ad, short-term. As for long-term viability, we'll just have to see,
like everything else. In the meantime I can file it with the long list of
things that are working perfectly well that the Vanagon list said would not
be.
