For exploded parts views, get a Black Dragon catalog...unfortunately, it will list THEIR part numbers. You need the dealer manuals to get both together unless someone's built up an online folder with that trademarked material.

Anybody got some bootleg links?

Search & archive, learn them, love them. I know for a fact there's a gsl-se upgrade thread in the archive already.

In the New Member boards, the response, "use the search feature," or a variation thereof is not an acceptable answer. That is for the regular boards, not these boards created for new folk joining our site. Now, if you had provided an actual link, that would be a different situation.

But please, you cannot say, "search", here on these boards

Thank you - Thank you - Thank you....(for the link)

I picked up an 85 GSL last week...

I found (through the search) a very knowledgeable poster with a few manual links in their signature....I need to get to 10 to get to them. I hear they are pretty good... maybe these are them?

BARF1...and folks, he's referring to the defunct BAR F1 operation in FIA F1 racing...tenk you beddy mush for de leenk.

HERE'S the board where you DO get to answer what you know and the new guys will eat it up. You ARE actually helping someone even with the tiniest scrap of what you might consider "trivial" information. For a lot of us old timers, it's like starting fresh on the website all over again, except we're the "guru's" this time!
