(NASDAQ:DORM) is announcing the release of hundreds of new aftermarket components and assemblies, adding to its expansive catalog of more than 133,000 SKUs.

Also includes a direct replacement shift interlock solenoid.A flexible braided stainless steel fuel line made with stainless steel over flexible PTFE tubing, specific length for select Chevrolet, Pontiac and Buick vehicles.
