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

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

About 6 years ago before I got real heavy into the Delorean parts I blew a
water pump hose when out of town. No one stocked it because were a 20+ year
old car. After about 2 hours I finally found one that would get me back
home. We have a 1 1/2" on one end and a 1 1/4" on the other. That's why I
put the adapter on the web site to make it easier for fit something. P/N
would do no good because most don't stock them.

Fuel pumps are not stocked, water pumps are not normally stocked, pulse
coils are not stocked. This is what the problem is.

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.
