Mike, et al,
Thanks for that info. I know Motormite very well. Good company. I have
ordered a 5' sample of the stuff I described. I will send it to someone who
"knows". I _do_ know that these people do not sell to Motormite or Manny,
Moe, and Jack or to any of the other automotive places I mentioned. I asked
to avoid redundancy. When it arrives, I'll go compare it with those you've
mentioned. Not sure of pricing, yet. I'll be in touch.... stay tuned.
(there's something you can't say to SUs)
