Cooling flap linkage I believe is hard to find, as are the little metal 
engine cover plates just underneath the fuel injectors/spark plugs. 
Unfortunately, neither are easily removed with the engine in the car. :(

The distributor would probably be valuable to anyone on the list that's 
stuck with a "replacement" 009.
