The Jag parts monger I knew in So. Cal. had a huge cross reference. He
had developed it over 10 years of mongering, and guarded it with his
life! It turns out that few good cross references exist without blood,
sweat and tears. So, this guy provided his customer's with an excellent
service price-wise. BUT, he was unwilling to divulge any part of his
parts numbers list... I doubt things have changed very much. UNLESS
BL finally got their act together, but this I doubt too.

imagine an aerial depiction of China in which each person represents
a shim, gasket, stud, locknut, spacer, spider gear or bearing. Then
imagine yourself, director's megaphone in hand, trying to organize them
all into some sort of differential folk dance. The shims alone defied
census..." _Buying an old Jaguar_ Peter Egan (R&T 6/'84)
