[Vwdiesel] High performance diesel injection pump

[mikitka]

Dave,

Not sure if it has changed much in the past four years but if you do send
it, use FedEx. I guess the best thing would be to call Giles up and ask him.
I sent my pump up by UPS and they wanted to charge me customs on it. It was
a big mess and I will not use UPS to ship to Canada again. I think Giles
said FedEx was about the best and then the USPS.

Nick

Thanks for all of your replies. I think that's the direction I want to go.
Now I just have to find the cash.

Dave
