Well, I've been lurking in the shadows for a few weeks on this listserve so 
I thought I should introduce myself.  I just bought my first LBC three 
weeks ago, a 1978 Spitfire.  Needless to say I have become addicted to 
researching DIY projects and repairs for the car in the very short period 
of time that I've owned it.  I think I may have actually visited all of the 
web pages that fellow spitsters have created.  Before I start bombarding 
the lists with all of my little questions about the car I thought I might 
offer a service.  Over the past weeks I have looked through dozens of 
catalogues and hundreds of web sites trying to find the part/s that I need 
at the cheapest cost.  As I'm sure all of you do.  Today I realized it 
would be relatively simple to code up a program (oops, forgot to tell you 
I'm a Comp. Sci major at the U. of Arizona) that would return the cheapest 
vendor for the desired product.  The only problem I have found is all of 
the varying product numbers.  Is there any source for common part #'s?  I 
did find an official parts catalogue on an auction site....should I use 
this as a reference?  If and when I get this working, would this be of 
interest to any of you?  I can probably put it up on a web page for every 
one to access.  I can't promise results yet, but any insight into what 
factors I'm missing would be great.

For the time being I'm only going to concentrate on Spitfire parts.

Thanks,

Tyler Buck
