[Vwdiesel] About to rebuild a 1.6

[David Cook]

All-

I've got an extra dial indicator plus pump attachments
that I'd like to sell.  I bought them and used them
once on my car a couple yearss ago, and have since
acquired another set and no longer need them.  It
reads US Inches, but with a convesion would (and did)
work just fine.

I paid $95 for the set, but will listen to any
reasonable offers.
