Don't you hate buying a dozen small parts just when you need just one? Great example the 3/16 x 1/8 emblem trim fasteners. I just needed one and now have a bunch left over. We should do a swap section on the small parts? Any one interested?
 
I'm all for it any time a swap can solve a problem... That being said, I do tend to hold on to the "extras" ....You just never know.
 
Right now i have the trim bullets, a few brake line clips, hood insulatin clips (plastic)
 
post in free section under a sticky "Bulk": rule is you cant take all. Im in...as soon as I have something to give. I can imagine used valves, lifter internals, keepers, bolts, springs and retainers. Many members have given me little parts for free (thanks again!) just for the asking..ie. " Does anyone have 1 lifter plunger snap ring laying around?..BAM! :-)
 
The one I hate the most is when you need some little part that you know darn well there is a big crate of them sitting in an assembly plant somewhere, but you can't get one ANYWHERE. :D
 
Kind of like the sending unit rings, I found a dealer that had some and bought them all.
