I've been thinking that along with the Tech Link Library we ought to have a library of sources for materials, DIY parts and hard to find parts.

What I'd like to see...

Sources, prices & part numbers, where applicable, for DIY & Raw Materials like:
- Tubing--steel & aluminum
- Mandrel bends--both square and round
- Rod ends--what kind & grade incl special features like grease fittings
- Injector bungs--steel and aluminum
- Springs--2.5" ID for coil overs
- Reasonably complete listings of various kinds of fittings
- Etc...
Sources, prices & part numbers for Hard to Find Parts like
- GM/Saginaw-AN adapter fittings: http://www.allstarperformance.com/product.htm?prod=325
- Quick Connect fuel rail - AN adapter fittings
- Oil/water heat exchangers: http://marineengineparts.com/shopsite_s ... ge443.html
- Pre-Formed tubing, such as from http://www.inlinetube.com
I'm deciding about whether or not to include parts lists for special hybrid projects--for instance LS6 valvesprings into a Gen III/IV V6 (And sources for LS6 valvesprings).

What I'd rather not see:

Stock replacement parts, unless they're Hard to Find.
Things that AutoZone, Advance, etc. carry. (CarQuest & NAPA are OK, since they usually have a better selection of obscure things than AZ or Advance)
Any listing citing the FieroStore as a source, unless that's not readily obvious.
