Im about the least moderate of types in here but I will volunteer for moderating a parts cross for M35's at a minimum. Its sort of what I do for a living anyways... Im more frustrated than blind guy in a booby bar right now because I need numbers that should be easy to find but are not (wheel seals, PROPER wheel bearing #'s not just HALF of them, etc, etc, etc)... I have a lot of rebuild work to do and its annoying having to take something apart and leave it set or (as today) pay 36$ in freight for a 6$ seal... (yes I have issues with being impulsive)
But over the next 3 months I could verify first hand most of what can be found aftermarket.
I think in some cases like seals, filters and bearings they need a bit more information though. Its easier to find a part when a number will not cross and you have the specs to the part your looking for... and in some cases it would be cool to be able to attach a pic also... When I see a part or PN I can identify I usually try to attach that information to the post discussing it... I don't know what the rest of the country is getting like but walking into autozone, pepboys, or discount is hell compared to the good ole local Napa that seem to be drying up... Today fancy stickers and LED lighted valve stem caps are what make a car go faster... Or at least that's what the bone heads behind the counter seem to think!!!
... Having the right info and ALL of the available info on a part is a valuable bit of knowledge....
Mods would be another good thing to address with it... I see posting after posting referring to a modification that's really great but the parts information never gets put along with it, or is often common sense to the poster but not to the rest of us humble minded. I've been chasing this stuff a lot too in regards to leaf springs, power steering, paint codes, blah, blah, blah...
*steps off his soap box*
Just an idea... or several of them!
Oh.... and Mike... I used the search function to find this thread... LOL
