Example: Who manufacturers the fuel pumps on a 737? The hydraulic pumps? etc? Obviously Boeing assembles the aircraft, but who builds the parts?

Where could I find that information? The specific manufacturers of specific parts for any aircraft.

The IPC's that I use have a vender code section in the front and in the figure item number section it is listed for a particular part.
