I have a set of Viper parts catalog Micro-fiche for 1997-1998.
there are 4 micro-fiches and part # for it: 12-30-98 (must be the date)
You can buy micro-fiche from any dealers,they are NOT "property of the manufacturer".
I bought a small portable micro-fiche reader years ago and use it all the time.
Most of the European Manufactures don't want you the customer to have their part "book" and service manual,but since that by law thay have to sell it to you,what they do is,beside being a CD-ROM,sell it at an VERY high price.
Talk about $800 for my 01 Jaguar XJR service manual.
I got mine free from my part manager since they get a new update every 6 months.
The good thing about knowing the part # of what you want to order is that usually the part guy will give you a better price.
