Where to Get Used Parts??

[cayman]

I sent off my hood hinges, brackets, latches, strikers and an assortment of nuts and bolts to get chrome plated and when I got them back, the strikers, bracket that the hood alarm switch mounts to, the secondary hood catch off of the driver's side latch and the assortment of bolts were missing! To make a long story short, the chrome place claims they didn't see them in the box and blames the shipper and the shipper says the box arrived at the chrome place unscathed. Anyways, I need those pieces and I really don't want to pay Viper taxes on new parts through the local dealership so where is a good source for used parts like that? Any Viper salvage yards? I did a search as I remember there being some but the search feature lacks a little on this forum. Thanks in advance!

You might want to check with Chuck Tator www.tatorsdodge.com or www.woodhouse.com too just to see what they can do for you. Most dealers on this board give great discounts.

Also, I didn't know you could chrome a hinge? I thought the flexing in the hinge would make the chrome flake off. Maybe I'm thinking of the hood hinge spring... do you chrome that too?

Thanks Cody! Yes, the springs were plated as well. I've known others on the forum that had their's done and said the plating was holding up after several months and opening and closing of the hood. I guess we'll see. ViperpartsLarry was who I was trying to remember. Thanks again Cody. Anywhere else guys in case I strike out on these places?
