Car Parts Direct

Postby Sy V » Sat 03.05.2008, 12:25

I have just received a PM from ronjr asking me to supply him with the details of the vendor from which I obtained my split CV boot kit back in 2003.
I found the receipt and sent Ron the details.
Thought I'd have a look at their site because I don't recall visiting it since that purchase.
I have to say that, if the shchpiel is true, we may have neglected a valuable outlet (especially for steering racks and drive shafts) all of these years.

Take a look...

This looks a good find Sy, especially as there are no more new steering racks.
JPS M100 was built from bare chassis up to create one off M100 in the mould of JPS Team Lotus

Have used them many times. Local branch is Mansfield, and they're very good. One of my kit car buddies thinks they're a bit overpriced, but I've found them to have pretty much anything I've asked for in stock or within a reasonable time and a cost I'm generally happy with

The recons are jobbed out to a 3rd party who is trade only, but I'm sure is done locally.
