Wayne,
Very helpful, especially when you don't exactly know what you are looking for. I also like Greg's suggestion linking to assemblies and kits. Great service to your customers. Bud

I agree there - what I meant tho was that Wayne is way out font of other online catalogs for car parts.
You still need to catch up with Google & Amazon....! |

Very good, thought of selling it to Porsche AG?
Using the brake disc example, you would be pulling the hub off, so wheel bearing kits, brake pads and sensors could be added to the "related" section.

Wayne, this is a fantastic idea. Additionally, if you could add dimensional data for things like your example brake rotor, it would be a huge help for someone who has bought a modded unit and has no idea what the correct parts are based on model year and type only.
Best, Dave Austin

Wayne -
Excellent; I like it a lot. Running Firefox on Knoppix linux to test as my windoze machines block much of your scripting. Only one suggestion: for the brake rotor example you have several images of the part but no legend on each part to show that image A pertains to '67 through '69, image B pertains to '71 through '72, etc. Might help with identification of differences. Linking to relevant articles is very nice. Big plus for your biz!

you need to buy the Tech. Spec. Booklet for your car, if not a repair manual such as Bentleys.
failing that, do a search rather than annoying everyone by "asking the same newb questions everyone here had seen before" |
