Leaf,

Congratulations for making a "leaF of faith" and buying a Westy anyway
despite all the talk of gloom and doom.

I can probably help you locate used parts & some new parts inexpensively in
the SF Bay Area. Call or pmail me and I will see I can do. My main source for
parts and repairs is Tassi, Inc. in Colma. You can call them directly at
(650) 755-1355 (tue-sat). However, like most successful businesses, they give
substantially better prices to regular customers.
