PARTS INTERCHANGABILITY LIST

[cliff]

FI SPYDER has a very good idea about establishing a parts interchange list. I have discovered the heater and A/C components provided to BL and Volvo under different part numbers were provided by the same manufacturer and fully interchangeable. The strut bearing/mount appears to have the same bolt pattern as the TR7/8, and it appears to be a real bearing, not a teflon disk bearing. With the wealth of knowledge that is out there in WEDGIELAND, we should be able to build a rather comprehensive exchange list. I'm just not sure of the foremat. Tag your IT!!!!Cliff

That's a fantastic idea, I know that when I come across a part that will work, I try to make a note of it. Sounds right up JCLAYS alley!

I gave this some thought overnite and a possible format is one that is ever updated and revised topic featuring: part name, part#, source ie Kragens, Auto Zone, O'Rilleys, etc and and any pertinent information as the submitter deems suitable. The sources will be somewhat different on the other side of the pond and that is ok even in OZ and on the Continent. I was a little reluctant to start this topic as being just a little goofy, but am pleased that it is being well received. <b><font color="red">PARTS INTERCHANGE </font id="red"> </b> Thanks

It is a great idea and if I can contribute I will.

This is a link to a similar list specifically for the Spitfire range but has some TR7 bits too.

Is 'meat & 2 veg' appropriate rhyming slang for the TR7?

WEDGE LAND. There have been enough inputs saying DO IT. Here goes, how do we keep the interchange easy to locate or near to the top of the topic list. If an edit will keep it near the top feel free to make edits as you deem necessary. We should be able to find this by using the search feature provided in this sites format. Search topic <b><font color="red">PARTS INTERCHANGE</font id="red"></b>. Add as you find new information.

With winter full upon us I believe it time to bring heater bits and pieces back to the top of the list. See previous post. Merry Christmas and happy Wedging!!![8D][^] From sunny SoCal, Cliff

as much as i heard , not 100% shure ,

that moris marina , land rover discovery MK1 and tr7 door handles are the same

one question , if the saab 99 engine is similar to the tr7 , are the main bearings ,and big end bearings the same ???


i have terrible experience with Croatian customs , i payed for the rear bumper plastic cover 90 pounds from rimmer bros , the postage was 72 pounds , the final price when i had the parts in my hands 260 pounds , damn DHL charged me 54 pounds just to go to the customs office that is 5 km away , if i ordered the same part to a friend of mine in slovenia only 40km away i wouldn't pay all of those expenses , and the shipping cost would be way lower because slovenia is a part of EU. DAMN customs

so i need to source as many parts as i can at home because i feel like an idiot to pay such drastic difference in price for the distance of 40 km
