Hi all:

    I recently pulled my throttle body to clean it, and lost the little
clamp that connects the accel. cable to the butterfly valve.  Local
dealer had to order it on Monday, and informed me today that it is back
ordered, and won't be in until after Friday - as with most parts I've
ordered in the last month to do the clutch job.
    This sucks.
    Does everyone else have this problem with parts houses, and what
happened to the fine dealer network that Volkswagen had for their
beetles?
    I've been down for 1.5 weeks now waiting on parts, and am getting
sick and tired (uttered in the tone of a ranting parent) of the hassles.

Suggestions/the part/grenades welcome.
