    Horseshit!
    You got heaps of advice, suggestions and places to look.
    You had to do a little bit of the work yourself though......

    No I hadn't but yeccch!
    That's the later series to my Sprint so none of the parts would've been
    interchangeable even if it WASN'T rooted!

    Thanks Big. Good to know that they've helped you. That doesn't
    necessarily mean they've responded to me though, does it ?

    Thanks for the kind words :)

    And just to recap for everyone who hasn't been paying attention.
    Yeebers asked a question in another thread (You know, on usenet, where
    people pay nothing to ask questions and get free answers). Then, in
    this thread, he got the answer to the question indirectly. Now its been
    pointed out to him that there are other places to seek the answer to his
    question, and he's whinging and bitching about how he didn't get very
    good value for money from his original question... and gaining much
    respect...

    Thanks Atec but hey, if I'm not an expert with 0 experience in such a
    thing and my first time in said situation, I'm apparently stupid or
    something. Next time I know a place to look, that's a start.

    When I initially posted, a simple 'try metro spares in sydney' woulda
    been good.

    If anyone's going to boil it down it's you, Nev. Ta. However I get the
    feeling you're a little wrong on the last sentence. :)

    Well we all start somewhere.. and there are a couple of persons in
    here who feel rather huge about these things...
    Making a new one is often surprisingly cheap but these days doing so
    or even finding a part that might fit let alone one that actually fits
    can be challenging ...
    Maybe just swapping to another front end might have been an option , if
    nothing else the problems with parts highlight lack of certain things
    with this brand and might even be relevant to many others ?

    Captain abuse himself wades in !

    Ooh we must feel privileged, IK .. oh hang on he abuses everyone doesn't he.

    You could have included a few more 'fucks' in there tho mate. I suspect
    you weren't really trying :)

    You notice we're both over it ?

    I don't really know why wreckers have email accounts and subscribe to those
    Findapart type networks 'cause they don't seem to ever want to respond to
    electronic requests.
    I rang one Sydney wrecker up and quizzed him about some bits for my bike.
    He said he had a couple of one part and definitely had one of the other so I
    put all the details into an email (along with my address for the freight
    etc) and sent it off.
    Within 10 mins I got a "none in stock" reply.

    There's nothing like actually being in the shop with a wallet in your hand
    to get them interested.
