What happened to the online Cessna parts manual?

[Gary Ward]

I had the parts manual bookmarked in my computer for years and now it is dead, the link.
I am looking for the 1980 172 parts manual, not the repair/maintenance manual, I need the parts manual. I looked online for a while now and it appears now you have to pay for one now? There are so many sites offering to sell me one but I am Leary.
Does anyone know where to find a online PDF on one or the best place to buy one? TIA

1980 172 parts manual

What specific model? FYI: If you buy one I wouldnt recommend getting the latest revision manual from Cessna. Stick to your year/model.

Thanks for the advise.
A very helpful member Schmookeeg sent a PDF file of the one I needed. Thank you.
