Rob,
The most urgent is to become a member of the Rolls-Royce Owners' Club (USA)
or the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club (in the UK) (see links on
http://www.dmoz.org/Recreation/Autos/Clubs/Makes/Rolls-Royce/ ). As for
parts, I always try the official source first (your nearest Rolls-Royce
dealer); if the part is too expensive, then you might try Tony Handler in LA
phone 310-473-7773, or introcar@globalnet.co.uk or parts@sauzeau.com . Hope
this helps,
Mark Wolk
