Thank you so much Shashi.

You've an eye for detail for sure. I have already procured the parts catalogue for the Gypsy on my last trip home in December 2016 which again is all thanks to you as you had mentioned the part number of the Gypsy catalogue in one of your earlier posts.

It is actually such a good investment as you know what exactly needs to ordered instead of depending upon the wisdom of the parts guy who may or may not order the correct part every time.

Your observation is correct; I have grossly overpaid for the conical washers, not so much for the hubs though (Rs. 12,000 vs US$ 200).

Eagerly looking forward to get these installed on my next trip in addition to some of the other upgrades nothing crazy though.

Thanks brother!

We had a discussion on this thread where I had mentioned the part numbers of the same. Reposting here:

Quoting the relevant part of the post:

This should be the least of your worries Sir. There is spare shortage at dealership end because they don't wish to order it. Its as simple as that. Forget the Gypsy, they are so profit oriented that the not-so-common spares of cars like Swift are not to be found with them. And its them who spread such rumours that this spare won't be available/orderable SAAR.!!

The best way to deal with such inefficient idiots is to follow these rules to the T-

1. Locate your MGP distributor.
2. If possible, approach its owner/person incharge and befriend them.
3. Get yourself a parts manual. For the Gypsy, the part number is-

99000M24120-260====PARTS CATLOGUE,GYPSY1.3LIT(RHD)==Rs. 223.21
99000M24120-261====PART CATALOGUE(GYPSY-ARMY EXCL)==Rs. 264.65

These manuals are ordered the same way the normal spares are ordered. All replies like Manuals are only for MASS is plain BS!!

4. Look for the spares and order them against advance.

Hope it helps.
