Exploded-view parts diff

Part IDs are read straight off each generation's official exploded-view diagram, deduplicated, and compared as sets. A part ID moving from "shared" to "removed" only means Horizon's current diagram doesn't list it anymore — it doesn't necessarily mean the physical part changed.

New on this generation (106)

Not on this generation's exploded view (73)

Shared part IDs (89)

Part IDs link to the manufacturer's own product page for that part number. Names aren't shown here because Horizon's exploded-view diagrams label parts by number only in the pages we've archived — we don't invent names.
