While rummaging around in my old notebooks, I came across some listings for interchangable parts which I'll pass on for what they're worth. I was restoring a S III at the time, and ,most of the info dates back to 1989 before SUNI I.

Doug Ferrell had a great listing for interchange bearings and seals that should be posted on the Web.
