A really silly, but serious, request

[passat TS]

Dave,

I used the Bentley pictures of the CGT frame to design my skid plate. The
draw is proportional and I figured out using a scale the measurements it
doesn't show.

It worked out pretty well.

So, what are you going to use? Please don't say it's a DROF 5.0. At the same
time it's your money so...

Later,

Carlos.
