I agree that the Brazilian air intake bellows are not of the same quality as the originals. I take care of, and hang on to, my OE German bellows. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to assume that you can just go out and buy a good replacement for any given part on your car. Some parts are simply not available, some are not available except in 2nd rate quality. NEVER throw away old parts unless you are SURE that you have new ones installed and tested. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
