That is part of the reason I couldn't live in Alaska (despite how absolutely beautiful it is). I actually was having a conversation with my wife's older brother about this the last time we were in Juneau. I think they have a Napa, but that's it. And they don't have any salvage yards. I was talking about running down to the Pull N Save to snag a few parts and he just looked at me all confused. I explained I could walk up to the counter, pay my 2 dollars, and roam around the yard as I please looking for anything I deemed useful. I had just recently salvaged a brake caliper bracket and rotors for my 2003 Mustang. The PO had installed the pads without the clips so they slipped cock-eyed in the brackets and grooved them until they were useless. The pads eventually froze in place and one went metal-to-metal about half-way up I-84 headed home from Portland. That poor wheel will never be the same! Anyway, he was amazed that I was able to revamp my rear brakes for about 50 bucks thanks to the junkyard parts. Pads/hardware, some new slide pins and bushings, and the cleaned up junkyard brackets and rotors. Some poor lad had just done rear brakes on his mustang before it suffered some front end damage (typical mustang things).</p></blockquote><p></p>
