This has since been resolved. It was on a single shipment of 09171OE's that the we imported some time ago (and is long gone). Different U.S. and European spec aircooled Vanagons and Busses take the same wire set but with variations in length, and unfortunately the ones they sent us came up a bit short for some U.S. applications. Thanks to prompt feedback from Tom and a couple of other listmembers, we were able to notify them of the problem quickly, and our next shipment came with longer wires. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
