Automotive equivalent of a "ship-set"

[wrightti]

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

My best guess is kit.

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.

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".
