Sometimes.

Most of the time they are oem parts but I have seen free aftermarket parts if you are willing to do some labor.

On my motorcycle forum I give parts away all the time to guys that have had an accident or are just in need of something and maybe can't afford to pay for it. I've seen plenty of other guys do it as well.

I have

On the Mustang forums guys will usually need a hard to find bracket or misc bolt that i have several of. I just ship out for the cost of shipping.

It really irks me when people want to make $20 off a POS bracket they prob had stuffed in a drawer. I pay it forward because there have been times i've needed a spring or clip or something small and some random guy sent it to me for no charge. I just figure i'm returning the favor to someone else.

Log into CentexVQ.com (an ATX G/Z forum) and put it in the classifieds. I'm sure someone will probably need it sooner or later.

thanks, we have small meets once a week (just to hang out and have a few drinks) and we have official larger meets once a month. This month we are participating in the Austin Mean Streets Auto Show on the 23rd.
