Thanks for correcting my ignorance on suppliers and national ID's on things 
racing (it's been a very long time since I followed the international road 
racing scene) That'll learn me to open my mouth in public!

It was not my intent to get a Japanese catalog. I just called Typhoon (sorry I 
don't have their # handy...its in the Miata Mag...they're the "Bug-eye" 
people) and asked them for their catalog. They never told me it was in kanji 
until I got it in the mail.
