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.

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.

It has a bit :)

I can edit the OP, that isn't a problem. I would suggest though that this thread isn't the best (or most appropiate) soapbox to air trader grievances. As I say in the OP, this is not designed to be a recommendation thread.
