Default Parts Suppliers Thread - Who Sells What & How to Get Hold of Them

I'm sort of new to building kit cars and one of the things I have found is that finding out who sells what can take a considerable amount of time.

The idea of this thread is to create a directory of those companies/individuals who supply Roadster specific parts. This list may include general kit car parts (e.g. lights) suppliers at a later date, but there are numerous companies out there.

This list is not exhaustive and is for information only (this is not a recommendation thread, it is a directory) - I'd appreciate any input in adding to the list.

Roadster Specific

AGM Sportscars (bodywork). Barnsley, Yorkshire. www.agmsportscars.co.uk

Equinox Products Ltd (bodywork). Faversham, Kent. PM equinox on this forum, or http://www.equinoxproducts.co.uk/sho...php?groupid=18

GillhamOnline (Roadster parts). Colchester, Essex. PM GillhamOnline on this forum, or www.gillhamonline.co.uk

HandyAndy (Sierra chassis flat pack kits). Cleveland. PM HandyAndy on this forum.

Hydraulic For Kit Cars (brake and fuel lines). Växjö, Sweden. PM voucht on this forum, or https://sites.google.com/site/hydraulicforkitcars/

K4KEV (ali fuel tanks). Wingate, County Durham. PM K4KEV on this forum.

Rogue Engineering (misc parts). Doncaster, Lincolnshire. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/daveo1121

Vodou Auto Kits (MX5 chassis, bodywork, misc parts). St Keverne, Cornwall. www.vodouautokits.co.uk


Non Roadster Specific

Hope this is of help to someone out there

Yep, good idea definitely, the forum could do with an info category with only stuff like this and the book amendments etc in. If it was made read only and only mods could move stuff into it then it wouldn't get cluttered like the announcements one does.

Kevin at protech is a good bloke, very helpful especially if you need something a bit different, he knows the correct sizes for the mx5 chassis too
