Oh, no need for forgiveness, my bad... CTC = Canadian Tire Corporation.
Redtop is a type of Optima (which is a brand name), they're more money, the

Yeah, and beware of brokerage fees if they ship UPS. I got zapped with an
additional $45 the last time I had a parcel shipped across the border UPS.
And I do mean the LAST time I'll ever do that. :)  But Potter and
Adirindack are awesome sources for parts.
