Parts I'm Always Looking For

1. Lock Cylinders (ignition, front trunk release, glove box, rear trunk). I'm just interested in scavenging the individual plates inside to rekey other locks.
2. Odometer Reset Cable - Comes out of the back of the speedo, and connects under the dash.

3. Brake Lines - If you can pull original brake lines out without bending them, they're handy for when I have a car in and one of the ends strips out (happens too often).
4. Headlight Pivots/'Washers' - The actual pivots and the 'plate' that the bolts go through.

5. Third Seat Belt Plugs - Early cars had the bolt holes for a center third seat belt and shipped with large black plastic screw in plugs.
6. Brake Fluid Feed Line Grommets - Under the tank, the two grommets from the reservoir to the M/C.

7. OE Door Mount Bolts - Original bolts have a pointed tip. These are always handy for a restoration.
8. Plastic Plugs - The holes in the transmission mount bar as well as the suspension bolt holes in the front trunk shipped with white plastic plugs in them. If you're not familiar with these, I'll send a picture with arrows. There are three on top and two on the bottom, plus two in the front trunk, IIRC.
9. Seat Belt Bolts - Bolts, washers, plastic rings. I like having spares of these. Image Numbers: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14

10. Seat Rail Washer/Plate - The bolts that hold the seat rails to the floor had a plate with two holes in it.
11. Underheadlight Plastic Edging - The brace under the headlight bucket (two large holes) had a plastic strip to protect the wiring from getting cut.
12. Bumper Hole Plugs - Behind the front bumper, the plastic plugs.
13. Center Tunnel Covers - The two small plates that cover the access holes in the center tunnel.
14. Heater Tube Grommets - The rubber rings that seal around the heater tubes as they pass from the passenger compartment into the front trunk area.

15. Headlight Motor Knobs - If you're tossing the headlight motors, I'll take any top knobs that are there.

16. Hell Hole Drains - Black plastic drains in the engine shelf on either side. (white arrow)
17. Oil Line Hole Plug - White plastic plug for the hole used in six cylinder cars. (blue arrow)
