Daimler DS420 Overview of Parts Catalogues on microfiche
|
|
|
The part numbers in the table are not entirely contiguous.
I have listed the ones in my collection,
plus a (very) few that I have seen on
eBay but was not able to purchase.
I have not listed part numbers that I have never seen,
because I would not be able to specify a publication date.
My collection, and thus this list, is certainly not complete.

Note that there are two sets with number RTC9877FG: one dated November 1980
(where this number is in-sequence with the surrounding ones) and one dated July 1985.
The first one has 2 fiches, the second one has 3.
The second one has the text "Up to July 1980", so this one, although published in 1985,
must be a later publication to serve customers with an old model DS420.
July 1980 is when the GM400 gearbox was introduced.
All later microfiches refer to this "RTC9877FG" for old model DS420 cars,
and this most probably is meant to be the July 1985 edition.
Therefore I have purchased a set and it will very soon be scanned
and added to this site (expect early June).
Its content is of course very close to the last paper based
catalogue RTC9877CD from October 1985.
I found a (paid) service to get fiches like these ones
scanned and converted to graphical images.
With many fiche sets so close to each other
it is not very useful to get them all converted.
I have decided to put the
RTC9887FAB (October 1987),
RTC9887FAE (February 1989) and
RTC9887FAG (August 2000) on this site.
They nicely fill the gap between the last paper catalogue (1985)
and the very end of the DS420 era.
