On Friday I ordered 60 cone screws from the local dealer to replenish my stock for shift linkage kits.
Today the driver arrived with 41 pcs of the new superceding part with a pricetag more than triple what I paid last October. $20 per cone screw now is totally outrageous and impossible for me to accept.
I sent them back. So, now I need a reasonably priced, suitable alternative or I stop selling shift linkage kits.
Just one more setback...

So, its not that bad after all. I got excited before I did further research.
I found the 928 part number for the same screw and called my parts rep to check on them.
I can get what I want at about the old price after all.
