We usually do not comment on VV, but a recent post about early dash harness
prices deserves a reply. The person stated that he could buy the early dash
harness direct from the manufacturer for $30 less than the next lowest vendor.
We assume he did not check Clarks prices, our current price is only $7 more on
a $295 harness, and if bought with 2 or 3 other harnesses under our multikit
pricing he could have saved another 2-4% over buying direct. However the few
dollars is not what is really the issue, the real issue is once again someone
on this list continues to address issues in a general way, which hurts all
vendors, since no one knows who he is really talking about or referring to,
and the fact that once again you a trying to take business away from the
vendors who support your hobby and mine. Have you noticed that there are fewer
and fewer Corvair suppliers and that you can find less and less locally. Are
your local auto stores putting time and money into repro parts to help keep
your cars running??  Corvair vendors work hard to keep parts available to keep
these cars rolling. The vendors deserve your support in order to continue to
supply you with the new repro parts, as more and more parts become
unavailable. If a few dollar savings on a $300 or more purchase means that you
do not support a Corvair supplier, We  are all in trouble!  Cal Clark, Clarks
