(SNIP) Patrick, Should you ever have the urge to do another swap, please have a look at Kennedy's offerings. I have purchased several kits from them and always received the highest quality parts, and coming from VW specialists, everything fit properly and worked well together. They might be a bit more expensive, but it proves the old saw: "Ya' get what ya' pay for". Hope you get everything ironed out and have good luck with the rest of your project. Larry |
