Along the same lines, I was looking for someone to make reproduction overflow hoses. I had someone north of here, but they seem to have gone out of business, so then I found someone in Cleveland, but they backed out when they realized that this was for an automotive application associated with gasoline. I'm still looking. I will probably check out a Hemmings myself to see who does this for the automotive repro trade. If anyone has any good leads I'd be pleased to hear about them. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
