This won't help the discussion much, but after $1500.-- in parts and
support from the old girl (VB), I've not had a problem yet.  I order and
two days later have them in my office.  
Wish I could say the same for TRF.  On 19 Feb 98 ordered two seals
(trunk and bonnet) and have yet to receive them.  Called the other day
and was told 60+ orders like mine are on hold.  Maybe an isolated
situation, but not a good way to start with a new customer.
