  Try your local mega super auto parts store.

  While it's true they might not know a spridget from a tractor,
they are in the business of networking. If anybody anywhere spent
the time to index spridget parts, then EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE can
now get spridget parts.

  I got all the engine parts to freshen up my MGB engine from
the local UAP at great prices. This is especially true for
rings and bearings that are likely cross-referenced to
a thousand other applications that might even be current
cars.

  I just got a water pump there today for my 75 Midget, the
girl hadn't even heard of the car but a few keystrokes and
the part was in the next day for half the price of Moss.
