What Odd parts you just never seem to find ?

[MR442]

Every project seem to have one glitch .. You know the one part to finish off something that cant find >>

So what part do you orhave you had trouble finding ?

Like a 86 87 ash tray door . I see old style often but in 6 months not one at any price for a 86.

We all know the coveted alum hood and stuff . What small parts drove you nuts ant one time?

Took me forever to find the headlight switch dash trim piece without a vent for an '82-'85 non a/c Oldsmobile.

Let alone the fact that I needed two of them...

Was even harder to find one for an '86-'88 non a/c Olds for a friend, but eventually turned one up.

Haven't you learned with Olds you have to sacrifice somethings and just get used? Just pull a set from any Olds motor, including 307.

EFE valve for any Pontiac motor with manual trans. I know, just do without it, but in February it matters, a lot.
