This manual has been designed to help you in the identification and purchase of original equipment parts. It should save you many hours of time locating the parts you need. With this manual you will know exactly what parts from which vehicles are identical. There may be no need to pay a high price for a supposedly rare part when it may be identical to many other parts.
