Paul,

Paramus is about 5 miles from my home.  Do you think there might still be
some spares laying around there? <somewhat kidding>

Seriously though, if you remember the name, or location, of the shop, I'd
love to buzz by there and see if it is still around.  Following up on
another old race shop lead, I missed out on (by a few months) a stack (8-10)
of TR aluminum flywheels and lots of other spares, including an OD tranny,
all of which was sold for $350.  You just never know......  and no, the
seller didn't get a last name and it was a cash deal, so I couldn't even try
to track the purchaser down.
