Tom,

I got mine from Tim LeClair at Foreign Auto Parts Flint MI  (810) 
742-1600 or (800) 728-1601, at $95 ea.  He advertises the timing belt 
kits on ebay with the FAP ebay store.  This was on 7 June.  You haven't 
indicated who the "guy I bought from last time" is :o)

Tom '95 S6, interested in 1 or more at this price point or better
