[T3] the DDB

[Brent Bottolfson]

I emailed Martin a few weeks ago about an alternator kit.  He replied 
and said he had a few left and directed me to Chuck at Chucks Volks 
Werks in Portland.  I left a message for Chuck and he called me the next 
day, sold me a kit which I paid for with a credit card and it arrived 
just fine.  I asked Chuck if the DDB was still around and apparently he 
bought up all their inventory and requested that I email him regarding 
any other Type 3 parts I needed.
