    It is indeed possible to get original parts if you're willing to
doggedly track down every part from leads, eBay and others on this List.

    As many of you know, I have replaced every missing component on my '69
Caravel with factory original parts gotten that very way.  I do have a
handful of vintage Airstream yards that were quite helpful in my search.
Those contacts are available to anyone who wants them, just email me and
I'll send them to you.

    I can't say enough for finding the hard to get stuff on eBay.  Without
that resource, I'd still be hunting.  I'll bet I got over 50% of the
difficult items I needed that way.

    Good luck Warren and stay with this List.  There are a lot of nice folks
here and many of them are very knowledgeable about our Airstreams.
