HOW TO SUGGEST PART ALTERNATIVES


Use suggestion form

Use the right-hand suggestion form to submit your part alternative. Your contribution is really appreciated.

Original SAAB part number

If you entered the original SAAB part number on the home page form, it is already incorporated into your suggestion submission. Otherwise, please enter the SAAB number in the space provided.

Vendor

Enter the full manufacturer or distribution name.

Website reference

Enter either a web link to the exact part you are suggesting, or a general link to the manufacturer or distributor.

Part description and number

Enter a part description that should, in most cases, mirror the overall description of the original SAAB part. Then include the vendor alternative part number, if available.

Alterative type

Please classify your suggestion as follows:
  • NOS (New Old Stock): original part or new manufacture that cannot be easily distinguished from the original SAAB part in either appearance or function
  • CLOSE MATCH: part differs from the original SAAB part in appearance, materials and/or in minor design characteristics, but should functionally work exactly like the original stock part
  • TECHNICAL MODIFICATION: part performs in a modified way, perhaps with newer technology, that either maintains or improves the original characteristics of a functional area
  • GENERIC REPLACEMENT: part loosely can substitute for an original SAAB part, but does not look and/or function like the original
  • OTHER: part suggestion does not fit into the categories above

Comments

Please indicate why you are recommending this substitution, including any personal experience you have with the part and/or vendor.
