Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

:ah: I replaced the ignition switch mechanism (the plastic part that the plug plugs into) and lost one of the set screws that holds it in place. I searched for about an hour and can't find it and now I can't find where to buy one online. Does anyone know where I can find that? Also, I'd like to replace one of the purple clips that holds the screw in behind the headlight switch. Here is a pic of what they look like. Any idea where I can buy one of these too? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Ryan

POST 2Original post

I have a couple extra dashboards. I'll check tonight to see if I have them. Otherwise, check with anyone on the forum that is parting out a car in the classified section. Woody (user name Itsnotanova) will probably give you one free if you buy another part worth shipping.

POST 3Original post

Here's what I have. It really isn't worth enough to deal with 'selling'. Just send me a message to let me know where to mail it.
