Yup... Bus Depot is wrong. I bought the wrong one for my syncro (it's hardly worth returning it), then made mention on the list (as well as a mail to the bus depot that I never received an reply on.) about it not fitting. After I mentioned it on list, I received email from at least three syncro owners in similar straights. I'm surprised TBD hasn't updated their web site. I assumed mention on the list as well as my direct email would have promted that. On the other hand, if you can sell someone _two_ temp II sensors instead of one, why bother ;-) <I'm pretty much only joking. I'm sure this isn't done with malice on Ron's part, but enough is enough, the web page should be updated.> See ya.
