I attempted to order a couple items from Autohaus AZ but they charge $15
shipping for orders that exceed $100. FCP Euro doesn't carry what I am
looking for nor does Rock Auto. Any recommendations for more modestly
priced suppliers?

It means they might be capable of making something of reasonable quality.
But just because they're OE for some windshield washer grommet doesn't

Does anybody know what Our first OE project involves?
No idea... but it sounds like they're making something for Mercedes that
was previously NLA. Maybe Tom Hanson can shed some light?

quality. For example, looking at suspension parts for a W123, I see lots
of parts that are only available in the Uro brand. These should be
avoided at all costs, the parts only last for a short time. Buyer beware.
