Re: New DeLorean Parts and vendors

Stain, I will make a short reply to some of your post. Even though 
I'm not considered a DMC Vendor, I do own 3 cars and love working on 
them. I also try to come up with alternative parts as good as or the 
the original. I also seek out because of the complaints that some 
make on cost a equal alternative. I recently ordered a O ring for the 
ignition distributor from a DMC vendor and it cost $8.68. That was 
what prompted me to come out with the O ring kit at a substantial 
savings and they are the exact same parts. Most O ring are less than 
$1.00 ea. They are just hard to find. Then you have to buy quanity to 
get the price down. I could go on and on about parts, but one of the 
other problems is libality insurance. Example, The TAB. Some DMC 
vendors use the same original bolt but just check them more often, I 
have one grade higher than original and plated and because it's a 
German manufacture with substinuated specifications. I have insurance 
to back up on. If you fabricate your own and something happens, like 
a bad wreck and it can be traced to a new fabricated part, wham, the 
insurance company has got you. Sorry the world works this way. I had 
to take parts off the web site because of insurance protection. This 
is a major problem when coming up with a new part. Also, the DML list 
group is, what 1/10th of the Deloreans out there. I sell a lot of 
parts to non DML people. Also, there is a lot of talk about new parts 
but very little support. Example: Walts rear view mirror, I don't 
think he got enough orders to get into production. Just something to 
think about. There are a lot of parts I could come out with, but it 
takes support and sales as you and others say to do it. 
Because I buy parts at a savings, I do try to pass it on. I also 
support the DMC vendors on dealer type items and I also rebuild and 
build parts that I sell to some vendors. But, there is just very 
little of that going on. Just my 2 cents worth.
