I've gotten a bunch of small things from US Air Salvage in Johnson City, TN.
There's an airport about 1/2 mile from them and they'll come out and pick you up.
They've been fair, but like any junkyard (aircraft or not), haggling is a must and
"stealer-deals" are hard to find. We bought a baggage floor out of a Cherokee 180 to
install in our 140/180. Pretty cool watching them take out a huge gas-powered
circular saw and cut a 3'x4'x6" chunk out of the fuselage of a plane. Even cooler was
watching us load the chunk into the aircraft it was going to be installed in and fly
home. A topological problem, to say the least.
