	Mechanic red alert -- the injectors are readily available 
(and I doubt that all four were shot, but you never know).  The 
mechanic *really* couldn't find them?!?

	This general sort of story has been repeated again and again 
about mechanics who simply were not familiar with the D Jetronic fuel 
injection system.

	What year was your car again?  I'm running a 1969 fuel 
injected Type III "L" distributor on my dual-carb Bug (Kadrons), just 
using it as mechanical advance only.  Runs smoother than the cheapo 
009 I had on there.  (Maybe you can return your 009 and save some 
dough?)
