Re: German Parts

["lumina333" <lumina3@xxxx>]

I liked the product he was offering and was unable to find it in the 
states. There may be some around, but his seemed closest to original 
stock - not the glue on type, but having the spring loaded clip built 
inside. Shipping ran around $15 and it took about a month to get it. 
Of course, that was before I took advantage of the Gremlin parts 
locator folks on this list; someone will probably now tell me of an 
identical part in Georgia for 1/2 the money! LOL -Lu-

availability? price? also what was the shipping and time frame from 
order to delivery. He is trying to sell some brake rotors on the AMX 
files. I would think the price of shipping somthing so heavey would 
make them as or more expensive than if you bought them state side. 
One of the first things I repaired on my new Hornet was to replace 
the bad hatch gasket, I bought it from Kennedy American. It cost 54$ 
includeing shipping and I got it in 4-5 days. Of course this was 
somthing I needed imediately as the car sits outside and winter was 
almost here when I bought it. Last year I got involved in a trade 
through someone in Texas for Rebel Machine Model the Texan bought it 
on eBay from a guy in Switzerland. I traded a 62 Chrysler 300 model 
for the Machine to the Texan. The Machine Model was being shipped 
directly to me from Switzerland. It took a month for the Machine 
model to arrive. I am leary about buying from over seas as I have had 
enough trouble with things getting lost or broken from Canada in the 
last few months.
