[audi20v] 20v distributor gears

[Bernie Benz]

Thanks Brandon, but I must spread the credits around where they belong.

The trick was to find a competent gear shop that was small enough to be
interested in a small project, a slow economy at the time also was in our
favor.

The credit for finding the shop goes to fellow 200-20V lister, Alan Cordeiro
<alancordeiro at comcast.net>, who knew the shop owner and had done prior
business with him.

It was Derek Pulvino <geargp at hotmail.com> who kicked off, and has been
managing this sucessful project, after loosing his distributor to another
200-20V lister who had started an unsuccessfull gear project, before he
vanished from the scene with Derek's distributor.  Derek, I believe that you
may have made the contact with Audi Driver <mail at autometrix.co.uk>.  They
should be informed that I have been running a gear in the 7A for 3 months or
so, and that we have placed almost 100 of these gears, with a few more to
go.

I was just the closest one to the Stockton, CA gear shop, so I have been
acting as the technical liaison with them, a fun job.

Regards, Bernie
