I just recived a flyer from Special Interest and was flabbergasted at
the price of the oil and air filter for my 78 Spitfire.  They are on 
sale this month $3.46US for the oil and $2.99US for the air filter.  I
paid locally $9.00CAN for the oil and $15.00CAN for the air filter.  
They also have the front flexible brake hose on sale for under $8.00US 
($35CAN locally).  Even with the exchange rate I don't see why this huge 
price difference.  Could it be that Special Interest carries cheap parts, 
I'm thinking of ordering a couple of filters  so does anyone have had any 
dealings with Special Interest and have any comments about the quality of 
their parts.  

Finally a technical question, I notice that the ball joints on my car does
not have grease fittings.  How does one lubricate them?
