Jim,

The $15 to $15K crack is just my way of saying I have no idea how to
price unobtanium - and a slight backhand at folks that post outrageous
prices on the list.  For some kid that needs to get his van running
the low end is acceptable while the high end is for the guy that just
bought a Go Westy Syncro Westy with all the bells and whistles.  They
are essentially worthless to me since they don't fit the EJ22 but I
need to be inspired to go out and pull them off the carcass.  I don't
believe the basic external dimensions changed between the 1.9 and 2.1
so they should fit.
