type 44Q handbrake

[james accordino]

Thanks, I appreciate the gesture.  That's not the
problem.  I HAD a used wastegate from a 90 200 fwd
with 22k miles.  It was fine.  I already installed it
in like 15 minutes thanks to tips from the list about
using a screwdriver to jamb the hat open.  My POINT
was that the stealer has continued to tell me that
ONLY the entire assembly is available.  Different
assemblies, with different p/n's at different dealers
in different states.  Still got the same answer.  You
MUST buy the comlete assembly at x thousand dollars.
No sub-parts are available.  I even went armed with
p/n's that I KNEW were valid.  Kris Manusha- time to
say I give accurate part numbers!.  Anyway, none of
these stealers can find the small parts, but all can
"source" (I love that term-I think the just the
voicing of that term added $2k to the price of my
wastegate).  Sorry for any ranty/whiny context, but
some of you guys seem to just trot down to the dealer,
and buy the part I can't even get for $1,5k less than
me.

so you think I'm not just fagging out the stealers, I
actually BOUGHT all the front suspension rubber bits
from 1 of those 3 stealers I mentioned.  ALL the parts
were cheaper than all the quotes over the net,
including Kris Manusha from VM Autohaus.  He's usually
the cheapest, because of the exchange rate, but it
DOES take awhile to get to me. (east coast-PA).  FWIW.
