thanks dude… I ended up buying one for $30 shipped from a place in NJ… I need it to do the cams in my head too so its worth it I guess. Mk4 I bought a set of deep 1/2" 12pts and the one for the ARP bolts last year when i did my head… thanks for the offer though. Get at me when you want me to blast theose calipers and what not. I will be blasting stuff this week for hawtwheels truck so ill throw them in the mix for ya. ---
