Jason,
In my experience Phil (Talon) Eagle is A1-first class,making top quality stuff.Also Sylvain (Voucht ) if you want brake hoses and Kev makes a first class ally tank . There have been others on the forum I would recommend but they are no longer trading eg 3gE and Saturn.
For bits and bobs Rally design and Kit Parts have also proved reliable.

Sorry if I left anyone out but I can only speak for those I have dealt with!
Others may be able to recommend more traders.

To my mind thats a big plus over any multi - national business .

Take me for example

A.J Building Services--Paris, London, New York, Coedpoeth

And Pekham

Very sorry, never meant to upset everybody, just didnt know where the Dave comment was being aimed at.

Thanks for the recommendations Ayjay, its really appreciated !
