Ken,

This is a great job!

I don't see the hoses to the rear heater, and I wonder if you could
substitute a high quality bulk heater hose product for the heaters.  $70
for the front heater hoses seems high, unless they are molded in some
weird way.  But then again is is that German rubber (right?) made with
gold and platinum additives!

Also, the kit is a good idea but might be expensive for you to stock all
these hoses.  Pre-order only?  Also, include the correct size hose
clamps so we can get rid of those damnable spring clamps.
