Automotive equivalent of a "ship-set"

Hi,

Quick question on terminology.

I used to use the term "ship-set" to describe the number set of parts required to assemble to a single aircraft. I.e. a ship set for a wing panel would be 2 (one left, one right).

Now I have switched industries, I would like to know what is the automotive equivalent of this?

Cheers

Tim

RE: Automotive equivalent of a "ship-set"

I've used the term "car set" too.

Car set is the term used in North America.  Kit would probably work in the UK or Australia.

Thanks guys, car-set will do for now.

RE: Automotive equivalent of a "ship-set"


During my parts chasing days of pre-mid 60'sfor my Dad and Uncles, all earning livings as automotive mechanics, used the term "Kit Set" which was sometimes shortened to just "Kit"

Then during my semi-retired years of the 90's, when doing fix-it-myself period, some parts young counter people primarily just had a blank stare of stupidity when I ask for a specific carburetor model "Overhaul Kit".
