Re: [DML] Re: Parts Interchange lis update...Not necessary

[Jake Kamphoefner <jakekamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with both Cain and Joe Kuchan about the side of road repairs.  I'd never admit that a cross for belts, fuel pump, and similar is a bad thing to have.  --But there's only so much you can replace while on the road.
 
Something else I should add is that knowledge is the best tool.  Do a "once-over" of your critical systems before a long trip and you can avoid most road-side problems.  I've prevented likely problems before by noticing it before it happened.  Though I don't do it myself, it really is a good idea to carry some spare stuff in your trunk.
 
One day I'll get around to assembling one of those "emergency packs" that we talked about a while back on this list.

I would like to have an up to date interchange list not for permanent 
repairs but for emergency fixes. I have found myself wary of taking 
my Delorean on anything over a 4 hour trip for fear of a mild 
breakdown disabling the car and no parts being available. Especially 
on a weekend when few vendors are available and the most travel 
occurs. We can bring the tools with us but have to wait for shipping 
on the parts.

I have long thought that a glove box part interchange companion would 
be wise investment for anyone traveling in a Delorean. This would 
allow us to stop at any parts distributor and purchase stop gap 
repairs to get the car safely home where a proper repair could be 
made. I know that if a vendor sold one or there was a way to 
subscribe to one that would be replaced yearly with updates. I would 
be number one on the sign up sheet.
