Ah, Jim, I feel your shame using a Lada part to fix your URQ, my gawd 
man! how do you deal with local listers you meet when they notice the 
modification? are they polite about it? and smirk off to the side or do 
they confront you? the experience must be horrible perhaps you could 
send them elsewhere, have them focus on Japanese stuff, like 
http://www.riceboypage.com/ (fun site)
