One of the reasons I went to Europe was to talk with Just Kampers.  They are
looking to increase their buying "clout" and need someone who could help
them do that by significantly augmenting their ordering quantities. It's a
win-win situation: We get parts that are hard to find in the U.S., and they
get better wholesale pricing on the parts they need because their purchasing
volume goes up.  I will be bringing in some of these parts, with the first
shipment arriving in about 10 days. The price will be lower than if you
bought the item from them, especially considering that you will not have to
pay shipping from England.  We are buying by the container load so the
shipping cost is relatively low. The lock kits are one item that are already
en route, as well as fiberglass bumper kits and some new Vanagon repair
manuals.  I'll have a list ready in a few days.  Also, if are other items
that peak your interest, just let me know and I'll work on bringing them in.
