What are those parts to find now?
Could have sworn this thread exists already...but I can't find it!
Now, I don't mean stuff that breaks commonly and is equally commonly available, OR things that are easily (enough) rebuilt. Things that are easily enough done custom doesnt count either. Alts, starters, ps pumps, cv axles can all be rebuilt, seats can be recovered...brake calipers are shared with many other cars, lock systems are nissan...etc... What is unique to the SVX that once broken/worn out, is unrealistic to replace w/o a new part from the shelf/doner car? All the Glass.....lenses, rubber seals (door seals, window seals), interior electronics (a/c control)....

Re: What are those parts to find now?
How about head and tail lights, rear lense, all interior parts subject to wear, engines?

Re: What are those parts to find now?
I've resigned myself to believing that owning an SVX means owning a parts car, too... Sadly, if your parts car is the same age (or older) it probably means that the items that fail or wear out are more likely to have failed or worn out.
I actually bought my parts car because it had a perfect driver's side visor with a snap-back that would break your fingers! |

Re: What are those parts to find now?
after the problems i have had getting replacement parts i have decided to try to protect what i have instead of stock piling replacement. i have 6 brand new replacement brake lenses for my '56 plymouth and they cost less than one brake light unit for the svx. my new strategy - the preemptive honk. works great.
car behind you too close or not stopping quickly enough at a light - honk at em, someone looks like they are thinking about pulling in front of you - honk at them, someone swinging too close in a parking lot - honk at em, etc... i have received many waves of different sorts but have prevented several near misses if not collisions. the only part i might stock pile is horns which i think are shared with other cars so should be cheap. |

Re: What are those parts to find now?
i put dual horns on one of my cars, was great but always ended up hitting the wrong button. got some "freeway blaster" horns from auto zone and they made a huge difference. i might piss a lot of people off with the honking but it seems to do the job. my favorite is honking at people who are texting, whether they are doing something wrong or not they get a honk. usually startles them into paying attention and they have no idea who the honk came from let alone why.
