Thanks!

To the best of our information, automotive manufacturers do not maintain them on line, Alan; but you may be able to download pdfs (at a cost) from Global Spec.

A. Whoever requested the quote should supply the spec. Cheeeeze, how do they know what they are asking for and how to inspect your work otherwise?
