The cross reference list is located at dmc-12.com. However use caution I
have tried using it with very disappointing 
results . many of the numbers given are no longer any good or at least
couldn't be found in anyones parts books.

Yes, I thaught it would be great if I could go down to my local parts stores
and actually buy the parts I needed. But I've
found very few items locally. In the end, it usually cost me more in running
around time and gas than it was worth. Besides when you walk up to the
parts counter and give the guy a part # to look up he will almost always ask
you what kind of car is it in . you say Delorean , and the parts guy will
usually laugh an make some kind of joke. I get tired of these comments after
awhile

The engine related parts are readily availiable most others aren't . I
replaced my clutch last fall with a centerforce unit, I 
priced out the parts locally and found them too be the same price as if I
had ordered them as a kit from Rob Grady. The difference was that I spent a
couple of days ,after work, running around only to be told that it would
take a week to get . Instead of making that 3 min. phone call and having
all the parts there in a few days guarantied to be correct. 

My 2 cents
