Hi Ken,

        Great to hear this, about 1.9 parts.  Sadly I have trouble searching your site, but I have similar problems on several vender sites.  I so appreciate the way you respond to emails and calls. 

        Some parts I like finding good used if I can, but others like the fuel injectors I like new and your aluminum rails sound great. 

Thanks for all you do for the VW bus community.

Eric Caron
