During this project, I have spend quite some time on-line searching for parts and information. I found a whole lot of garbage and mis-information, but I also found some very good websites with solid and usable information and good places for those hard to find parts.

To make it a bit easier for you guys and save you some searching, I listed a few of these websites on this page.
