DETROIT–A tentative deal for auto parts supplier Plastech Engineered Products Inc. to continue sending parts to Chrysler LLC has been extended.

The deal was to expire Friday. But Chrysler spokesman Kevin Frazier says it has been extended to Feb. 27.

Both companies are awaiting a ruling expected Tuesday from Bankruptcy Judge Phillip Shefferly on Chrysler's efforts to retrieve equipment from Plastech.

Dearborn-based Plastech filed for bankruptcy protection Feb http://us-no-fax-payday-loans.com. 1 after Chrysler said it was severing business with it.
