Pete's main business until now, has been distributing the various Westfalia
parts that were originally provided by Delta Six, an original supplier to VW
whom he bought out some years ago. His largest customer is VW of America; if
you pay $$$ to the VW dealer for a utility inlet or skylight you are getting
the same part that Pete and I sell much less expensively.  Although Pete
does not have much of a net presence, I am probably his second largest
distributor after Volkswagen.  Most of his products are on my website
shopping cart (at comparable prices to what he charges, and far less than
what Volkswagen charges).
