An interchange manual is useless for our cars as nothing really interchanges
with it. Oh there are a few parts but not very many. I was using one at the
public library several years ago and nothing really interchanged as they
list only exact fitments. 240 drums will fit the Roadster with a change or 2
but nothing from the suspension and very little if anything for the engine
or tranny.
Save your money!
