The tests I mentioned (vibration, temperature and Negative G) are not limited to automotive parts, but every system you put in - wiring under a control tube, trim system, hinges, fuel lines and fittings, fasteners, etc. I use Radio Shack and automotive components in my airplane, right along side high quality critical components such as a Garmin430 or S-Tec Autopilot. I fly "light" IFR because I don't have to be anywhere at anytime. Ergo, the systems match the airplane and pilot capabilities - EFIS is overkill (well, maybe Dynon next year), and Cessna used screws so that when they failed, you could just go to the next larger size.
