i just found this, thought it was pretty funny... turns out that one of the guys at pelicanparts bought the domain automobileatlanta.com and they tried to dispute it claiming tradmark infringement...pretty funny if you ask me, i guess they won!

check this out


what is pretty sad about this is that if autoatlanta has been in business for 25 years,
why didnt they buy the domain name when the internet became big? pelicanparts didnt buy it until
2000...weird.

You should just call GPR (German Parts & Restoration) in San Luis Obispo, CA @ 1-800-321-5432, they are 914 Guys all the way (they used to be called Mid Engine Mania) and will not rip you off like those so called reputable east coast business' like AA. I have bought many OE german parts from them over the years for 914's and other German cars and have never had anything but a great experience, excellent prices and fast shipping. They can sell you all of the 12mm German Braided lines as well as the smaller diameter lines, they also stock the German 7mm Fuel injection rubber hose which is a Must have if you have not touched your fuel system yet. It's only a matter of time before the original braided fuel hoses start leaking. Do it right the first time, it's cheaper in the long run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif)

I just received the AA catalog(s) on CD. Uhm, nice an' all but the images are TINY! So magnify them you say? Well, then the pictures become heavily pixilated and unreadable. Don't even bother wasting paper to print it out. I have Adobe v.5 but I doubt the version would make any difference since the image itself is low-res.

I don't like electronic catalogs or manuals -- I like paper! Thank goodness Tweeks and Automotion use REAL catalogs with color!

I've always had great luck with them (as did Dad). But I always go.

If I wasn't figuring I'd be on Hurricane duty by Friday I'd offer to go pick it up for you.

I had a hell of a time tring to piece together to proper sized stuff in the nice braided hose.

I've bought several of those hose kits from them. They are the only one offering a complete package. When I'm redoing a motor for someone I don't have time to cruse to all the VW places and compile a list of lengths and sizes. It's just quick and easy to open the bag and put the hoses on.

Only one problem, got sent the item twice and charged twice. Then Spent 6 mo. trying to get a refund for their mistake. And I paid the return shipping!

Stay away from the AA Repro front/top seal. POS!!

HPH in Redwood city stocks the proper hoses in huge spools... one stop... and he knows the lengths off the top of his head and will cut them for you. He is typically open on Saturdays and tries to attend our south bay breakfasts... more parts than AA and easier to get along with..

You guys have mentioned HPH several times in various posts. Do they sell via telephone, will they ship to us on the east coast? Do you have a telephone number and contact name?

I have ordered from Pelican and was very pleased with the delivery even though they are very far away. I have a local guy for the common stuff (plug wires blah blah) but it would be nice to have more options. From the sounds of it I don't think I will ever order anything from AA.

Todd... Pelican ships your parts from the closest wharehouse WorldPac has to you. This is how they have great turn around time on shipped parts. Its hard to beat. HPH uses the exact same parts wholesalers as Pelican but he doesnt ship as fast as PP.

650-364-6234 or 1-877-914-4YOU toll free
