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

Jake and Group.
I can put together a Road kit based on what problems I hear about, but the
question is how much are you willing to spend. I have rebuilt fuel pumps for
$50.00 while supply last
and that would be the most I think. If the group will come up with a package
of what you want or need for the road then I will make up a special price
for that.

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.
