RE: [T3] Skippy the sb & finding parts

["Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com>]

Years ago, I thought Id better start replacing things NOW while I can still
get the parts, but most by then were aftermarket. Fortunately I save
EVERYTHING, and most of those OEM parts that I took off are back on the car
now, long after the aftermarket stuff has failed.  Jim makes an important
point here... a lot of the aftermarket stuff has "issues"

Personally, I prefer to use used parts whereever possible for 
environmental and economic reasons as well as because real NOS parts 
are likely to be VERY hard to find, and also because aftermarket 
replacements are frequently of poor quality, even though they 
probably look great when you pull them out of the box.
