My rule of thumb was usually to get two of whatever you needed, then between the part that you had and two other used ones, you could build a good one.....

Just think of the fun the young-ens are missing, by not getting to go out into a muddy field, in the winter, finding the right car, that still had the part you needed, getting the part off and walking back up hill as it started to get dark and started snowing.

Then when you got home, going out into the cold barn, with a dim trouble light, and put the part on your vehicle...... yep, and snow was blowing in through the cracks in the barn siding.

Funny part is, that some of the young-ens are thinking I just made that story up .......

You forgot the part about the replacement part doesn't fit because the donor was not really identical to your car.
