Whatever goes up (unpowered, in a gravity-well, anyway) must come down. Of course those T3 adjusters go both up & down.

Wish I had a set too, but they seem to go for... too much. APPARENTLY early Golf & Scirocco units may be the same or close enough to adapt. I have a set of Scirocco actuators, but none of the bracketry or locating items, and my headlight buckets are not made to fit them. So I've been trying (without success) to find buckets to fit. Someone did offer me a set of Golf II buckets, which apparently has the locations for electric adjusters, but this car didn't have adjusters fitted, so I'm not sure the buckets would be of any use... even if they fit the van. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin, New Zealand 64 (3) 473-8863 <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh & VW/Toyota van nut -------------------------------------- Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
