Post no more gaskets??

here is somthing i just found out on the 912 bbs, from will at classic speed parts. very interesting info i thought i should pass along.

SUBJECT: ArvinMeritor+Dana=no more gaskets??

F.Y.I., these 2 auto parts giants are in the process of a merger/takeover. Victor Reinz, the original manufacturer of our 912 engine gaskets is owned by Dana. When the deal is completed, Arvin has stated, it will "cut jobs and factories as part of its plan to slice $200 million in costs from combined operations".

In the big, Big, BIG world of global automotive business, where do you think 356/912 engine gaskets are priority-wise?

Something to think about...

Aww, maybe someone will purchase the dies/machines to make the parts?

Anyway, Harry, what do you think of my new Avatar?
