How do owners of very old or rare vehicles find replacement parts to keep it running?
In: R2 (Narrow/Personal)
I had a car that was 1 of about 200. I remember my mechanic calling other mechanics all over the country looking for one, specific part. He found 12 in the entire country. If he hadn’t been able to find the part, we had two routes that we could go. First, there were other similar cars that were manufactured. We could scavenge from these cars – there were scrap yards made for these, specific, cars and we could have called those scrap yards to get a used part. Another route would be to have the part fabricated. That can be an expensive route but at least it ensures you can get a part you need.
