<DIV>I have, and on several occasions. They mostly make rubber products for
GM's. The closest I've found for another use of 1 of their seals, was some 77
2 door door seals, that I used on 2 different type 3s. One I saw a few months
ago, and the seals are still holding up nicely after 18 years.</DIV>
<DIV>In fact, I checked with them, when I was looking for some obscure parts
for the t-34. ;-)
