I was going to do the same with my door handle, but luckily found a local guy 
with the piece for next to nothing.

Also, the wire wheels are no longer being made by Borrani, so we're having 
Dayton make exact replicas. An MG hub has 42 splines and fits perfect. The MG 
nut doesn't have enough threads for safe engagement, but the spline spacing is 
perfect.

My favorite find for the Ferrari occurred during a desperate night over the 
summer. I found the correct cross referenced Champion spark plugs at Advance 
Auto for $1.99 each. The car runs perfect now...

Who would've thunk it?

I say, bring on that 35 yr old 360...we can figure it out!

Hey Deep, I'm going to do the same with the driver's side inside door handle of 
my Mondial.  The replacement part is $400 and is just not worth it!  I can 
machine a replacement that will look just as good.
