I'm not sure how much info I'm goin to try to put in the list. My
main point is interchange; what will fit what, since I consider
AMC to be a car kit parts manufacturer that encourages me to
swap parts in crazy combinations.

I want to get all the brake dimensions, brands, replacement
part numbers. IDs of all the valving. IDs of the backing plate
flanges and caliper mounts and wheel cylinders.

Brake parts (springs, etc), hoses, that sort of thing, probably
won't add. They can be usually scrounged. They could be added
to the list later if desired.

Frank sent me a graphic of rear axle tube flange metrics, so
I'll try to work those up for amc15 and amc20 and add a column
for that. I know it can be derived from engine size etc but
having a column will make it searchable.

Oh yeah, once it's in a spreadsheet I'll transform it into a
full ross reference: given a wheel cylinder (Bendix, rear, 13/16)
list all cars that used it, sort of thing. That comes "for free"
once the data is there. I guess it's the point of this exercize.

(Someone shoudl do this sort of thing for engine, trans,
bellhousing, clutch, driveshaft, axle, ...)
