Hagar, 

In a recent post, you mentioned getting $15 nozzles from Bowwow... I just called and 
they now want $23 for a '85 Jetta NA nozzles, even though their online catalog says 
$18.60. But they have Rabbit 77-79 nozzles for $15 - are these the ones you got? 
Since the nozzle includes a new needle, shouldn't the early style work? I don't mind 
paying $15CDN, but I'm not going to pay $23 CDN when I can get them for $8 US...
Even Lordco can do better than that - about $20, but I don't know if I can trust them 
to get me Bosch parts.
