If you want me to quote you it will be 15% off current list price plus shipping. A web search for Bosch will find you a Bosch high volume jobber selling at a deeper discount than I can, and he/she can look up the number. My catalogs are at the shop where I am not web connected. Pick up a copy of European Car magazine at any middlin' or better magazine rack. You'll find a dozen advertisers that carry Bosch with some that carry it all, even if they spezialize in a few models and/or marks. T.P.
