---Just a few alternatives to help ease the pain.

<snip>
> Gates belts and hoses (my normal source for these items)

---Doesn't GoodYear still make them? If not, AC-Delco


<snip>
> Ideal hose clamps (my source for all stainless clamps)

---Most plumbing supply distributors carry clamps that hold up way better
than the cheap-o clamps I have been finding at all the parts stores as of
late. FWIW


<snip>
> Stant (gas caps, radiator caps)

---AC-Delco again (no matter how much I hate GM)


<snip>
> Trico (Wiper blades, but there are alternatives)

---Anco, Bosch
