Ken,
Wow, I thought I was the only one on this list to have such
anal-retentive attention to detail. I too, have done the "around
town tour", in search of such-like archaic british parts. The primary
difference is that I usually get so stressed out driving in cross-
town traffic and usually coming home empty handed, that I wonder
why I even tried in the first place.
I just went through that same scenero in my search for GL-4 gear
oil, only to call TRF anyway.
And I also shudder when I hear the phrase "What kinda car did you
say this came offa? A triumph? Don't they use metric? You SURE this
ain't metric?" I usually think..."You SURE you're a qualified parts
salesman?"... Ah, it gets my blood boiling sometimes.
It is amazing what we do for the sake of preserving the originality
of our dear LBC's...
