For UK folks, do yaw'll have any indication that Kroon is still in business?

I've sent two contact requests, a week apart, and have received no response.

Does anyone have an e-mail address for them?

I plan to call, but keep getting distracted during UK business hours.

Roger's got a shipment of brown/blue connectors coming in, and may have showed up this week if that's what you are looking for.

Chuckle. No. I need an ‘89 LH harness and don’t want a repeat from their first one (see TOS thread.)

Anybody got an email address of a real person there?
