Actually, out of all the vendors I have mail ordered parts from in the last 18 years, I have had the least amount of problems from the Parts Place, in fact, I don't recall having any problem with them, ever. I lived overseas and rebuilt my bus motor via mail order in the late '80s and still purchase 95% of all of my auto parts through mail order or the internet. As for Melissa, I find it interesting that she only asked for advice from the list after she gave her van away and not, before like Brian Cochron is contemplating Tim Hannink Goldibox - 1987 Wolfsburg Edition Camper Winter Park, Florida ----- Original Message ----- From: "Horace K.
