Thanks Per, I wasn't sure about my numbers, but I knew somebody would chime 
in with some better numbers then the ones I used. I was just trying to make a 
point about why patch panels are more commonly found for bugs versus the type3. 
It is the shear number of cars that were built, that causes the aftermarket 
to tool up. The more cars available, the more parts that can be sold. Thanks 
for the help though. By the way, were your production numbers for total 
production of the type3?
