I just watched the video. If the not made in China Sanden compressor is only $15 more than the one made in China (SSB). Why don't you offer both?

Their compressor sells for around $200 (so I was told). I don't have a source for the genuine Sanden's, and besides I have found the SSB units to be just as good.

I found that installing a sanden for the kit needed an exact fit and it took a couple units to find the right one. My wagon with the kit is now sold but I let my indie buy one instead of me dealing with it. That way he could return it if it did not fit, which the first two did not. I still have another kit and my 84 wagon. I may sell the kit as I might not need it.
