Mothership parts "catalog" June 25, 2016, 04:47:55 pm I was at the Mothership a few months ago killing time, and noted there are several displays of parts on the walls, nicely labeled. Since I'm one of those guys calling up part suppliers asking for a "You know, the whatchamacallit that goes into the thingamabob", it occurred to me that if I could remember the names on the labels, I could be, like, a genius next time I needed to find a particular part! So, being unable to remember anything for more than a few seconds, I took photos. Maybe they could help someone like me? They should be high enough resolution to expand them and see the labels. Here goes, in two posts. I hope this is the right place. 9 Likes

The one with 2 arrows expands the image to the as-uploaded size.
Re: Mothership parts "catalog" Reply #7 – June 28, 2016, 05:21:40 pm Paul--Thx so much--what a great idea & came at a very timely moment! Yes, Thx, Michelle, the zoom at the top helps a lot--but my dinosaur eyes still can't squint quite enough to read the prices! I need the metal bathroom door latch (2nd batch of pix, # 2)--does that say $19.50? Also, I need the SeaLand toilet valve (2nd batch of pix, # 4)--does that say $36 or $56? I'll be in Denver in a few days, so could do some comparison shopping--plus I like the immediate gratification of walking out with a bird in the hand, instead of waiting for it to land in my bush from either Amazon or the Mothership. Camping World in KC didn't have the bathroom latch when I was in there a few weeks back (& not much stock in general--they told me to try their Columbia store...odd since Columbia is smaller than Springfield--the 3rd biggest city in the state after St Louis & KC). Chris or other CO cultmembers, besides CW, what other options might I check out for these (& other miscellaneous goodies that I never knew I needed 'til I saw it on the shelf)? I used to hate going to the hardware store with my dad when I was a kid >boring< was an understatement...now it's better than a candy store--even if I don't know what something is, it's just cool to wander the aisles & wonder, "What's that for?" & I love the "What is it?" segments on Ask This Old House.
Re: Mothership parts "catalog" Reply #8 – June 29, 2016, 02:58:54 am Hi Lynne, I'll give you what their tags say, but I would call Lazy Daze for a definitive price. Who knows how long since these boards have been updated, and the Mothership as always, has its own way of doing things. The bathroom door lock, metal is shown at $13.50The Southco bathroom door catch is $6.00 The Sealand water valve is $38.00I hope this helps...

Re: Mothership parts "catalog" Reply #11 – June 29, 2016, 01:54:21 pm Thx, Paul, for reading the fine print for my dinosaur eyes. Yes, calling the Mothership for current prices before sending a check is the plan...because the only constant is change.
Re: Mothership parts "catalog" Reply #12 – June 29, 2016, 02:47:49 pm Larry, I can't imagine anything one can't do with the 2CV. It is Model A tough and simple. Was even used as a militarily vehicle, but considering it is the French army, reverse gear is the fastest! The collectors clubs here for these and the Renault 4L are a fun fest. We see many sitting in barns. And don't forget the scarf to go with the beret!
