Subject:      Bus Depot - What Kind of Policy is This?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

I sent Bus Depot a message asking who made their $39.95 spark plug wires for my 84 westy. Got message back that they had to research. Then never heard back from Bus Depot. I sent 2 more msgs and still no reply. That was a few weeks back. Out of curosity, I sent another msg and this is what I got back:

I am sorry that it took this long for an answer. We needed to do a little research before we emailed you back. According to our contact agreement we can not disclose the manufacturer of the plug wires. However, we can tell you that they are made by an original supplier to VW I hope this information can help you.

Why would Bus Depot sign such a contract? Does this mean they are made by Bosch but Bosch also sells them to Bus Depot at a higher price so that is why such a contract exists? If it is Bosch...then do they use the same wire on both but the cheaper version uses cheaper connectors on the ends?
