Could you make harnesses?

 

[middlecalf]

I was wondering if there is infrastructure in place to distribute the parts in the US. Big elephant for sure.

Hopefully ”they” make and distribute at least as many parts as there are threads about it on Mud .

 

[ToyotaMatt]

Could you make harnesses?

small sub harness sections yes

whole ones NO

 

[Racer65]

Coolerman does repo wiring harnesses so that's not really needed right?

Harnesses for post '71 cars are generally impossible to make due to lack of connectors. He doesn't make those.

 

[onemanarmy]

yep. wiring and smog stuff.....smog requirements will only get more strict.

Oh, all the funky weatherstrip

Harnesses for post '73 cars are generally impossible to make due to lack of connectors. He doesn't make those.

Curious what connectors are unable to be sourced.

I hope you all are requesting this stuff on the site, not just here…

Full Brake rebuild kits!

The real question is how hard are the parts hoarders gonna snap all this stuff up and hold for years till supply is low again....

Should be an interesting market for awhile when these come out. ppl buying what they need vs everything else

 

[White Stripe]

Spector will probably buy a lot of the parts I imagine

 

[OGBeno]

I seriously doubt whatever "this" is will come even close to what @Racer65 has accomplished for the 40 community.

@beno has Toyota *ever* brought back a NLA part before?

Gives you a better idea of how this might work in the future....

 

[cruisermatt]

Pretty much what I expect.. it’s going to be easy stuff like brake pads, spark plugs, oil filters that is already available so they can say they’re “helping”

 

[Spike Strip]

If and when some of these parts trickle out, they will be very very expensive.

 

[franklin40]

jump seats!! these are stupid expensive right now for aftermarket made ones or used rusted out ones. so hard to find either in my neck of the woods!!

 

[OGBeno]

Guaranteed. These parts will be 100% pay-to-play.
