Thanks.
In some cases it's 0 years (part not made available, such as some very specific parts on a detailed engine - think things like engine signage or an odd piece of detail work).
While Mike R has made some definite improvements since he started heading up CS, it's too early to make any analysis of how long in years parts hang around.
That said, in general, if a part is common to lots of items, you may have a better chance. (such as some post war style parts that are still using the same design today)
