So, for those that participated in the PST Super Bowl giveaway you may remember that I was the winner and chose the 1.03” torsion bars as my prize. After I removed the original 340 t-bars from my Duster, I leaned them in the corner and figured I’d put them up for sale here. While scrolling through the want adds here, I saw an add by @4fortyDemon looking for a pair of 340 bars for his project. Well, I figured one good deed deserves another so I gave him my old bars for FREE, and he just covered the shipping.
So, this got me thinking. This hobby is about the love of our cars and helping your fellow motorhead out when he/she is in need. Maybe it’s time for a “Free parts thread”.
There are only 2 rules here:
1. You cannot accept a free part(s) and sell it for profit. That makes you a scumbag and you deserve to rot in hot rod hell.
2. After you receive a free part(s), you have to offer something of yours up for grabs.
Doesn’t have to be nice,new,expensive,fancy,clean,etc. Could be ANYTHING you have laying around that you don’t need or won’t use- someone else may need it.

Let’s keep the freebies rolling and the brotherhood growing!
You’re up @4fortyDemon.

Sorry man, already shipped ‘em. Wait and see what he puts up for grabs.
Remember gentlemen, first come first served. No pushing.

Pay fast / ship fast. keep the lines of communication open. give tracking numbers, let people know when an item has been shipped, etc. This is all common sense. Treat others how you would want to be treated.

Wrong thread Robert. You need to start your own sale thread. (even if you are giving your consoles away.)
 
Your giving that away for shipping cost

In the for sale section is where I have seen them before, just click the button near the top of the page, it looks like this;

It may be best for each person to list one item at a time in their own thread to avoid confusion though.....
 
You commit to the part that's up, you pay shipping, you post up your donation, someone else likes your donation, pays shipping and donates the part of their choice.
 
Been down this road with a popular member on here...who does post quite a bit...where I offered a free part and I even paid the shipping. I was Just trying to pay it forward for all the knowledge and advice I’ve received on FABO!

To this date I have not even received as much of a thank you for the part!

So lesson learned to either sell them straight out or just keep them and let them collect dust!
 
I have done that too. Most people say thanks.

I was visiting a FABO member a couple weekends ago to buy parts & mentioned having a 4-door Valiant & he gave me a a back glass for free.

He is stopping by here this morning to buy some parts & I am also giving him a front windshield for his Duster for free.

James , thanks for the torsion bars! You saved our bacon on having to drive and find some. Finally got things unpacked and will post the parts that I'm paying forward. Thanks again!!
 
Here is a sb windage tray. 2 are pictured. I am keeping one whichever suits my build best. The other one is up for grabs.
Can someone tell me the reason why the newer one is notched differently?
For different types of pumps?
Reply in this thread for dibs.
Cheers
Steve
