Subject: 71 bus shopping list (long)
FYI 71 bus owners (and others?)
Below is my shopping list for my engine rebuild (71 bus), comparing the
prices of two sources. If you'd like the original ASCII file, contact
me. This could be loaded into a spreadsheet program, improved, and
maintained in an ftp site for easy access...your input welcome (positive
OR negative).
Please remember:
- This list is not proofed! I'm not responsible for anything! :)
I am not affiliated with either source. This is not an ad.
- Prices change. Shipping can get expensive.
- Take into account other things (helpfulness, easy access, etc. of
seller)
- A significantly cheaper price may mean just that a _cheap_ part (e.g. not
German), or may actually be a different part. Some prices are for the
compleat set of parts needed (e.g. for all 8 push rod tubes).
