Hello everyone! Just joined your forum and before I start
snooping around and ask questions I want to introduce myself and my car. I'm Alan and my car is The Green Hornet! Since I got it for about a year now, I had so much fun with it. I got to do some aesthetic improvements to The Green Hornet so far but am looking to do some mechanical upgrades in the near future as well.
So here we are!

Could anybody point me where to find car parts based on my VIN? I bought previously parts by model and year and didn't fit

Hello and
to the club!
What sort of parts are you after that you got the wrong ones? Engine parts I always order by engine code for eg.
1986 SJ410 - Furry dice, new window winder.

Hi guys and thanks for welcoming me in your club
In regards to the parts, I bought brake pads that didn't fit and the adjuster lever for the brake shoes on the rear brakes. Didn't fit either. I'm still using the original pads until I find the correct ones. And for the rear brakes I have to adjust them on a two week basis which is a real pain since I have to remove the drum to do that. You can see the part I'm talking about circled in red. The part I bought using the part number from Suzuki is in the second photo and it's obvious that is different.
From searches on the web I hear that Santana might have used the same brake drums as Peugeot 406 ?!?

Managed to find brake shoes with the adjuster on it at £55.
Posting the code as well if anyone else is interested.
