Since I have a GT6, parts are a bit harder to come by, in order of
preference I use:
1. TRF- Good selection of parts, good prices, good quality. Lately
though lots of parts are on backorder or out of stock (e.g. 2 month wait
for a GT6 clutch set, don't these guys do inventory!!). No GT6 catalog
but great phone help.
2. Vicky Brit- Great GT6/Spit catalog, excellent for cross matching
parts. Good stock of parts, has stuff that TRF doesn't have. Quality
is mostly good, although I've returned a couple of things because of
poor qaulity or didn't fit. Absolutley no help on the phone, order
takers only.
3. Kipping spares- Although I had some trouble getting a replacement
part for one broken in shipment, these guys can't be beat for large
parts like gearboxes and diffs. A GT6 gearbox, clutch set, and 2 wheel
cylinders cost 380 pounds, including shipping!
4. Brit Motorsports- (local place in San Jose) Can be a bit more
expensive, but the counterman-owner (dave) is very good . He helped out
considerably when I converted my Master cylinder to a later model and
threw in the resevoir and brake lines for free when I bought the MC
there.
5. Triumphs Only- (Also SJ)Don't bother with these guys anymore unless
I'm desperate. Got tired of Waynes "hucksterism" as someone said
earlier. Hard to get a straight answer out of him and if you don't know
any better, he'll take you for whatever he can.
