I should also add that they sometimes have incorrect descriptions for their parts. They continue to have on auction a pair of Ate brake calipers which they insist are for type 3s. Anyone who knows VW brakes at all will recognize that these are actually type 1 Karmann Ghia single pin calipers. The first time I saw this I emailed them hoping they would add a note to their auction correcting the mistake, but the only response I got back was, "What's the difference?" Of course the difference is 40mm pistons vs 42mm pistons, but that didn't phase them, and they continue to misrepresent these parts which they have for sale. I'd like to think that there's someone there who cares, but it's not clear that that person is running their ebay auctions. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
