Re: [DML] What parts are (nearly) impossible to get

[DMCVIN6683 <dmcvin6683@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is no need to remake the left fenders and left torsion bars 
because if you really need one they are still available. DMCH has left 
fenders but will only sell them if your left fender can not be 
repaired, members on the DML also have fenders, just ask. Some vendors 
besides DMCH have left fenders, just ask. Torsion bars are available, 
all you have to do is ask a vendor or post on the DML.

I personally dont think it is worth the investment just to press out a 
few brand new left fenders when you can get a new or used one still at 
a fraction of the cost to re tool a machine and make molds for new 
fenders.
