Hi Dennis,
What kind of stents did you get and how are they working? I will
probably need to get some too and was looking for recommendations.
I hear there are some news ones that are medicated and reducing scarring.
I have been looking around and found that VB has the cheapest ones, but
the quality is questionable. TRF has nice ones but they are backordered
and I may need them soon, and Moss are the most expensive.
And these guys bitch about the Lucas ignition systems....
