Locally, everyone is into diesel stuff.  They can tell you all about getting a chip for your F250 or whatever, or where to get those 6" pipes sticking up through the bed like your Dodge 2500 is a tractor trailer or something.  Luckily a former student works at the local O'Reilly so he knows I know what I need and grabs the guy that's been there longer than the brand has owned (used to be a private venture that did machining and such as well as auto parts) the store.

Wouldn't it be good to have that old style workshop back.
My hometown still has a general engineering workshop that does anything including small jobs.

My Triumph has been not willing to run and I discovered a broken spark plug cap, so I stopped by a local auto parts store. After browsing the isles and not finding one I approached the counter and asked the fellow there if they had any spark plug caps. He looked at me funny and said, "what?" I described what a spark plug cap was and how it worked, and he had no idea what they were! After looking in his catalogs for a bit with no success I finally just left.
What is this world coming to?

he has worked on diesels all his life

Tanks      its the fault of my phone ... the Keys are to small... and for some reason the " spell check" is not there when I use the phone .... but the main reason is that I usually post while on the toilet ....
