[urq] Wanted : driver side rocker panel

[ECP4NOW at aol.com]

Louis-Alain,
 
I have a brand new one setting on my shelf....  in Halifax, Nova  Scotia, 
Canada.
 
Were you intending to order it from Germany?  If you are in a rush for  one, 
we could arrange for you to get the one I have and you could replace it,  with 
one ordered.  Also I have the inner rocker panel.... 811 803  751 A  sitting 
on the shelf.  
 
I don't have an immediate use for the one I have, but not sure I want to  
sell it either.  But an Audi friend in need,  well....   maybe.

Yes, after a little problem  with a wheel that left the car without
notice, we need a driver side sill for  Eric's urQuattro. We called Audi
and the part is only available in Germany.  

So anybody has a new - or used - driver side sill, 857 803 761, as  seen
on this PDF item  16
(http://filebox.vt.edu/users/rfitton/ETKA/8_03_62-00.pdf) ? 

As for  the root cause of the problem, we agreed to blame the (too?) low
torque  figure of 85 lbs-ft, new wheels bolts and the fact that the ball
seat contact  area of the wheel was repainted. 

Nobody was hurt, as speed was very low,  but we need a fender (found), a
R8 (found) and the sill. 

Oh  well.
