Re: Historic FIRST data wanted

Thanks for the 2000 manual. I keep records on the Kit of Parts changes over the years, so the Kit stuff is really helpful.

The data sources for that list are documented at the bottom of the webpage that the list comes from. The same original sources you're using are there plus some others. Not all details are there, for instance, individual corrections we've received over the years aren't all listed.

Be aware that FIRST does have errors in some of those published lists, so try to get multiple confirming sources when you get to your validation phase. We began with an older FIRST database that we archived before FIRST discarded it, but it too had data entry errors that had to be reconciled against other documentation. The current FIRST database also has data entry errors and omissions that have to be backfilled.
