<VV> selling out Corvair people, was: find on the way to work today

[airvair at earthlink.net]

Partly. But only partly. 

The serious note is that we really need to try to keep Corvair parts in the
Corvair world. Especially particularly rare items, like (for example) a
'67-9 tele column. I saw one of those on eBay last fall go to a Corvette
guy. The sad part is that Corvette guys usually use only a small number of
the assembly's parts, and throw the rest away. Which leaves us Corvair
people begging for needed parts. And it's usually the Corvair-only parts
that are the hardest to find.

At present, I'm needing a '67-8 tele-wood column horn contact assembly and
the special shim for that combination. Bet some Corvette person has thrown
out just such parts somewhere along the line..... :o(
