     I never miss a chance to chime in on what a terrible place "Parts
Place" is.

     Find another vendor.

     One that has consistient pricing, in their own catalog even.
     One that sells new parts as new, instead of used parts as new.
     One that doesn't sell broken parts.
     One that graciously and apologetically accepts returns on broken
parts.
     One that sends the parts you ordered.
     One that accepts returns on the wrong parts that they sent you.

     "Parts Place" is none of the above.  I can state so from *long*
personal experience.  Every single transaction that I've had with "Parts
Place" has been screwed up and unplesant.

     I can vouch personally that Ron Salmon http://www.busdepot.com, Kyle
Wade http://www.volks-motorsports.com, and Ken Wilfy
http://www.vanagain.com are all *great* vendors.

     And, if you are in the Columbus, OH area, my parts outlet of choice
is Mid-State Auto parts, which sells geunine Bosch for prices *much*
better than "Parts Place" *and* gives me the right parts every time!!!
