Does anyone know if the Audifans Marketplace "parts wanted" section is
broken? I've tried to place "parts wanted" several times during the past
week or so, and the ad never shows up. Maybe I'm doing something wrong,
but can't figure out what it coule be.
I know we're not supposed to place these ads on the main list, but given my
experience with the marketplace, and with apologies for breaking the rule,
here goes...
The parts I need would be used on a 1987 5KS with auto trans (type 44). I
need:
1. p/n 443 201 544E metal fuel lines, the long pieces under the car... ETKA
says these same lines were used on nearly all type 44's incl quattro
from maybe 1985 - 1991
2. p/n 443 253 197A exhaust hanger bracket (retainer), hanging from back
of transmission. ETKA says this part was used on many Type 44's 1984-1991
... possibly all with auto transmission.
I figure it's a long shot trying to find these NLA parts, since they are
usually all rusted to hell by now. Maybe a car from the some place that
doesn't use road salt would have undercarriage bits like this remaining
intact. If I don't find them, my plan is to fabricate new fuel lines from
nylon tubing and compression fittings. And I'll try to rig up >something<
for the exhaust hangar, maybe baling wire ... :-)
