    I think not every part from MVP is in production. Some have the "future" status.
    Yeah for example the fuel level sender, you can add it to wishlist and then send an inquiry. I just wanna know how much fuel I have man. I dunno.

      The company sells the early fuel-level sender on eBay.
      I know it's difficult to ship anything from Taiwan because the post office refuses to send anything over $100 due to tariffs.

        in canada i've brought parts in from europe and asia with no tarrifs. it can't travel through the US is all. toyota and a couple others are setting up distribution networks here to circumvent paying US duties, but there isn't a pile yet for classic cars.

        edit: most companies worldwide no longer believe the insanity there will stop after either midterms or the next general election. as a result they are beginning to set up networks where they feel it may be more stable.

          I mean at this point might as well just buy uro, am I right?
          I don't know if anyone has any experience with these but I dunno.



          Edit: As I made this post I thought hmm maybe I should see if people have tried these and yup, apparently one should avoid Uro.
          Back to square one then. Should I get mvp or used vdo?

            URO outsources production of its parts to other companies.
            The same is true about MVP and BMW.

            The E30 fuel level sender is a relatively simple device with 2 wires inside.
            As you can see these wires can rust and the floating plastic thing can disintegrate with age.
