Hi Dave, considering you are in Australia(?) what you might try doing is
simply calling. Granted the old phone bill will go up a little, but you have
their instant attention. I think I mentioned to this thread before, but emailing
anyone, vendor, company, person does not guarantee a reply, and not to say their
server will kick out your email (if overseas) thinking you are rich Nigerian or
penile enlargement company offering benifits and growth that would make Paris
Hilton blush. In other words, company "K" of "G" or "AP" email servers might
read your email as spam....and it goes into spam folder, or trash/deleted files
and well, they never see it.
My own firewall here kicks stuff into the 'deleted items' evary day, and I
check it and if not spam, I put it back in 'inbox' then like good AMC FEMA
line....I eventually get to it in 3-20 days, depending on email volume.
Doc mentioned recently "Here's a simple fix for the door pins and bushings.
Go to the local auto parts store and look in their help section. Pick out
something from Pford or GM Drill out the hinges for the bigger bushings and pins
and your done. I did that to my yellow Hornet over 10 years ago and they are
fine. Used the stock AMC pins and bushings on my orange Hornet 6 years ago and
that cheap AMC crap is shot already in the car. And I only put 4,000 miles on
the car in the 6 years."
We all feel your frustration here, and everyone knows it is a hell of a lot
tougher to restore a AMC anything overseas where scarcity of parts and
knowledge, and shipping the item is more expensive if found. However, your best
bet on this is to either follow Doc's advise above, or look at time zones, and
figure out how to get ahold of company K, AP or G in 'their' respective times
zones so you know ehen calling they will be open....and have your list and
credit card ready......
PS: I don't think anyone will have new glass channels, those only around
used now for years. The shackle bushings and leaf spring clamps I believe both
ESPO and Detroit Eaton stock on my VENDORS list
alternative is on ebay there is some 'hornet weatherstrip' if you search
for it. But I don't think you will have any 'one stop shopping' for all items
you need below, even with some of the major vendors.
**Suggestion #2...I am not sure how many of the vendors you mentioned will
be vending at the AMC AMO national meet in St. Louis coming up in 2 or so weeks.
But you better ACT QUICKLY and contact them.....I can tell you for fact that
many vendors are wiped out of inventory at this national meet and it takes
weeks/months/years to restock some of the items........ !!!!
