Friends of the List,
A guy on eBay (yeah, I know, of all places) referred me to this website for
parts availability when I asked him if he had something I needed. I was
actually looking for brake components for my '69 Bronco, and when I realized
just what all information this site has, I thought it was pretty cool.
It appears to be an index of common aftermarket parts thru name brands for
some of the replaceable items on our cars. Its not a complete parts source,
especially the more obscure the vehicle, but there is some valuable
information on here. You can purchase from the online store directly by
adding
to you shopping cart, or (what I was thinking) it might provide some insight
to parts that could be found at our local stores...name brands I recognize as
sitting on the shelves of the corner AutoZone and O'reilly Auto. Sunbeam is
in
there amongst other rarities that you won't find in the computer system when
you got to the AutoZone parts counter. For example, when I sorted down to
1966/ sunbeam/ tiger/ 260/ wheel and hub/ you get about 5 choices of wheel
bearing known manufacturers and the listed part number for the
bearing...maybe
it will reveal more parts available locally than they stores think they have
if you know what I mean. (I'm not looking for wheel bearings for my Tiger it
was just an example)
This might be helpful, especially when you just want to call the store and
ask
them if they have a beck/arnely bearing part #xxxxx instead of telling the
kid
on the phone what kinda car it fits....and relying on him to look it up in
the
book.
Hopefully it could be useful depending on your situation. Check it out if you
have time
