 I'm sure that there was another company discussed previously that made
excellent camber plates for other cars and had expressed possible interest
in developing them for our cars, but I don't know where that went, nor do I
remember the company.  If enough interest is developing again, maybe the
party that was talking to them should revisit the issue.
