Hi.
Would order from a vendor such as Bus Depot, but
wanted to get job done asap. Since they are in U.S., I
assumed shipping would take too long...... border and
all.
Thanks for info re CIP studs. It looked like the EMPI
ones would fit even though too long. I figured I'd
cut/grind blank end (or leave as is? No harm?) as it
looked like threads are long enough.
And thanks for quick check w/VWOA. Oddly enough, the
local VW dealership in North Van said he had no stock
and he'd have to get them from U.S. Hmm.....
Cheers,
Neil.
