There are a few parts on our old cars that are slowly becoming difficult to find and insanely expensive because of it. Post up your sticker shock moment and what you did about it!
Example:
1981-86 Ford Mustang Door Arm Rest Clip Nuts Large NOS - E1DZ5424146BB, d6fz6224146a

Arm rest clips -- $20 EACH ! SAY WHAT?! Yes -- EACH... you need 4 to put your interior back in! First I was like and then I was like
I did a bunch of digging online and eventually found someone with a box of them that was selling the clips in pairs for just over $10 per clip. https://picclick.ca/ ended up being one method of finding things for sale on Ebay in foreign countries.... Found someone in Canada that had some. Needless to say I snatched them up even though I felt rather robbed on the deal!
When you're trolling the junkyard and see a four eyed fox that's already been executed and now its just the formality of picking the bones clean -- grab these! Grab the small ones too!
About the only thing that works if you don't have these is toggle bolts, sadly.
