Parts vendors
« on: January 02, 2014, 07:46:16 PM »
Didn't there used to be a place on the website that listed the parts vendors?

Yes, at one time there was a parts vendor page, however, it was out of date and has been removed. If you're a KFOCI member, check your monthly bulletin as most of the bigger vendors place regular ads.

One of the perks of being a member of the KFOCI (being a member of the forum is NOT the same thing as being a KFOCI member) is getting KFOCI MONTHLY BULLETIN, the club newsletter.  Not only to parts vendors advertise there each month, members can run WANTED ads for things they need in there as well.  There is no charge for the ads, either FOR SALE or WANTED.  This allows changes in vendor status to be passed on.  Service ideas, tips, etc, were part of the QUARTERLY magazine.  I expect that we should see the first printed issue of the magazine out in the next 90 days; the Board of Directors has endorsed two parties who are well qualified to be editor of that publication other than Mike Barker who's official resignation from the position was affirmed by action of the Board of Directors at the 2013 National Convention.  The action is a matter of official club records.

I am a member. I was just on the website and in need of some parts. Larry Barker supposedly has at least one of the things I need but he seems to be nearly impossible for me to get a hold of. He was supposed to send it to me last summer. Never got it. Anyway, I was looking for Walker's number. It's a piece that I think they would possibly have.

Kory, keep calling Larry, he will eventually answer. 

Why don't you post in the Parts Wanted section of this chat room, and as Jack says, send in a free ad to the Bulletin.  It can be submitted via e-mail to the Bulletin Editor...what could be easier??

Mike, he was supposed to send me that vent piece and a couple other things. I gave him my address and he said he'd send it and there'd be an invoice in the box. Never got it. Tried to call so many times I just gave up. I'd like to place an ad but I don't know what to call that vent piece. I can't find it in any of the books or manuals that I have.

I'm going to try to email you guys a pic of the part I'm looking for. I cannot find it shown or listed in any of the parts books or manuals that I have. I'm great with this technology stuff so emailing is probably a better bet than trying to post it here.

Kory, I have tried to include most of the vendors Names,& phone # in the Kaiser parts interchange catalog with available parts. as to "Walker Auto Pride" all available parts that are listed NOS and used are what NORMA WALKER can handle Fred Walker (deceased) left her  78 years old and 87# with a business she had no interest in . So if the part is listed in the Catalog she will be able to fine it and get it shipped. she still takes Visa and M.C.

I went back through all this a couple of times and you don't give needed particulars...please list the year/make/type car this came from and where on the car did you find it?

The car is '48 Kaiser. The part shown in the pictures is one I'm looking for. Also looking for the 2 junction blocks that are supposed to mount to the inner front fenders where the wiring harness runs into and then on to the headlights.

Thank you. At least I can order that and get back to running my wiring harness
