Did you not buy your car from Denbeste whereas you did buy your ERA from ERA?

So Hillbank to you is the wholesale distributor to Denbeste. You didn't buy your car from Hillbank. Right?

Your relationship with Hillbank is as a customer buying parts. I hear you, but in the supply chain, if you're looking for freebies then your customer-supplier relationship most likely to be fruitful would be Denbeste. Not that it would be much better. It seems that Denbeste probably has a hoarding problem and bought lots more cars than he will ever sell. I fully expect the American Pickers guys will show up there some day.

At least you're not trying to get parts from some of the other parts places here that take orders and never ship.
