Title: Mailorder U.S. parts source? Post by: javabug on June 25, 2008, 03:15:46 am Anybody recommend a U.S. shop that is reasonable, reliable, and easy to deal with for non-performance parts? Like stock replacement, tune-up, etc. Got my 1835 out at the moment and going to need the basics like a gasket set, some new (nice) plug leads, etc. I know CB has a lot of OEM stuff now, so they are probably the first option. Any others? Thanks!
P.S. Remember mail-order...I'm in PA and you guys in SoCal can pick up your stuff on the way home from work! >:( Title: Re: Mailorder U.S. parts source?

Post by: LuftsickTero on June 25, 2008, 07:15:17 am Being from Finland, I've used Powerhaus (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=64021) and Wolfsburg West recently.
Title: Re: Mailorder U.S. parts source? Post by: louisb on June 25, 2008, 11:54:50 am I am in the same boat as you are being in Florida. For stock replacement parts I usually order from Wolfsburg West because it is quality stuff. Lately though, I have been ordering parts from Mid America since they are closer and shipping is less and I have been happy with the quality of the items. Mechanical stuff I tend to get from John @ Aircooled.net. CIP1 is also a good place and sometimes they have free shipping which helps.

Title: Re: Mailorder U.S. parts source? Post by: javabug on June 29, 2008, 02:37:48 am Good point, John's been at it for quite some time, huh? Kind of under the radar, that's a good thing. There's also Russ at Oldspeed, I've had good dealings with him.
