So how do you propose to fix it? Require an out of print or unavailable
shop manual?
The PC has the ability to ask for other documentation as well. If the
Dealer network doesn't have it, someone must.
Given our rules, the other option is to just not allow cars that can't
acquire specifications to run. Somehow I think with that as the
alternative, people could find the track spec for a '73 Porche.
