[T3] Parts for the Invasion
Oregon Invaders,
I've only gotten a couple of requests for parts to bring to the
invasion, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have room in the car for more
stuff. Just in case, I thought I'd mention a few more things that I
could bring that would be lots easier, and cheaper, to pick up there
than to ship.
I've got one complete set of front disk brake steering knuckles, etc,
which would be perfect for a disk brake conversion of an early car.
The setup is from the 69-71 era which has the stronger stub axles and
takes the more readily available brake parts. I can supply this with
or without good used OEM rebuilt (by me) calipers.
Wheels: i've got a bunch of good used OE wheels, sandblasted and
repainted in the OE style. Everything I have is 4-bolt, but I have
wheels accurate for most years available, painted as supplied new.
Generators and starters: These are often too heavy to ship
economically.
Mufflers, heat exchangers (upper and lower), other exhaust system
parts, and installation kits.
Or whatever else strikes your fancy.
I'm already in the process of packing up spares kits with lots of
small bits and pieces just for the trip, but those are mostly for
things that the caravan might, but hopefully won't, need on the way.
The only way to assure that I'll have what your car lacks is to ask
ahead of time.
BTW, when we visited our daughter in Tucson last April, she finally
sent me her want list the night before we left. Needless to say, she
didn't get everything she wanted. There just wasn't enough time to
dig for everything. Please don't follow her example. ;-)
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Oregon.
