[T3] I saw the Holy Grail yesterday

[TOASTEDT3@aol.com]

yesterday at Pomona while walking up and down the aisles of parts and what 
not, one of the guys from ISP West recognized us as "those late notch people" 
and called us over to show us something they'd recently gotten in.  He 
reached down, picked up 4 12" or so long black pieces of plastic and handed 
em to me with a mumble of "check em out, NOS"

I couldnt believe it, in my hands were not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 complete, 
full length, NOS plastic seat rail sliders.  I never thought I'd actually see 
these things in this condition.  I quickly thought to myself "sure our seats 
slide fine now, but imagine how they'd be with these puppies installed"

The ISP guy made the typical "this is my last set" remark about them trying 
to justify the price he knew I was going to ask about.  I figured there's 
nothing to lose, why not ask.  so I did.  I gave them the "how much?" look 
and he said "$100 a pair"

ugh, no thanks....$200 to have a set of NOS plastic seat rail sliders.  I 
quickly put them down and said "I'll give you a call in a few weeks about 
replacing some sheet metal on the notch"

so there it is, my story of the holy grail.   Anyone else see em?  I Dunno if 
they sold yesterday or not.  If you're in the market, give ISP a call
