we have a lot of glt's over here as well - i would say far more glts than any other 360 (although 340s are still more common)

360 auto?? news to me - i guess you could bodge it from a 240/740 but im sure the variomatic wouldnt have any of it..

Duvel why not start a forum just for 'Rare Accesories' or just 'Accesories', where we can find out whos got what, who can get what and who likes and dislikes, e.t.c. I feel a seperate forum would be best as the topic doesnt really fit well into any other catagory!

Just a suggestion,

Cheers

Definitely worth the effort for something that rare here. There isn't really anything else you'll have that'll be rare, but you got A/C because of your climate. If you wanna ship some kits over here, I know you'd get buyers...

cheers
