RE: [DML] Delorean Parts Interchange List.




Alex,

I would like to back up Jakes comments and add the following. I believe I
published the first DeLorean parts crossover list back in 1985. As years
went by I found that some of the parts were modified and no longer fit or
worked in the DeLorean. On a price basis most DeLorean vendors parts prices
are right in line with the crossover from other suppliers. If you're a Volvo
owner you will find that many of the fuel injection parts are priced lower
from the DeLorean vendors than from Volvo vendors.

Alex,

You're really on your own on that one.  Parts cross-over lists are not
necessary because we have vendors that do all the work for us.  If you
choose to use a crossover (and most of us do at some point or another), it's
up to you to decide whether it works or not.  That is, some of the parts you
list below may "fit", but how do you define "work"?  For instance, the Delco
blower motor will fit, but some of them turn the wrong direction, so you'd
have to reverse the polarity.  --Or sometimes the squirrel cage is reversed
from the DeLorean position.  The door seals you list might actually go on
the door lip, but they may not seal worth a rat's ass.

For that reason, you'll have a lot of trouble getting people to agree on
what is a crossover.  If you want to be sure, buy from a vendor.  When you
buy a DeLorean, the question is not parts availability; the question is, can
you afford to buy all of them?!
