I always go to a very intelligent guy at my local UAP(like NAPA in Canada).
He has been able to find most parts such as clutch assembly, clutch M/C. So
I agree going to a wholesale and staying with a single person has its
advantages. Also, I seem to get better prices if UAP can provides the parts.
He also knows my cars now so life is easier.

Subject: Spitfire parts at regular auto stores
I'm just going to bring it up again that quite a few Spitfire parts are
already cross referenced in in the books at parts stores. I've been
quite surprised several times at what I could get at places like Pep
Boys and such, not to mention outfits like NAPA.
So, don't think you can only get things from british car companies like
Vicky Brit and such. True, a Triumph Spitfire probably won't be in
their computer system, but get a decent parts counter person who can
figure out how to flip the pages of the catalogs in their rack, and
you'll find a whole lot of Spitfire parts, at discount chain prices.
