Here are a couple of ideas:
Instead of subtracting points for not using parts that are no longer available for most, bonus points could awarded for those who go to the trouble of finding/using original parts.
Institute a certification program where the MAFCA could certify that a given reproduction part was identical to the origin and would not incur a point loss. This "MAFCA mark of excellence" could be used in the vender's advertisements. It would be service to model A restorers who want the very best, and would encourage those who produce parts to improve there product.

Have you ever been a judge at a MARC/MAFCA Fine Point National Meet?
