Part Suppliers???

Post by **peterg** » 20 Mar 2007, 22:38

Hi,
Anyone with any advise regarding where to buy parts for my Type 25, looking for complete exhaust system, 2.1 auto 89, know theyre £££! And service bits an bobs, plugs, filters etc? Looked at JK and GSF so far, any thoughts on quality, reliability, cost etc? Tried Wiki but am new to the game!!

Hi chap, welcome along. Use the search facility above (mag glass symbol) and enter exhaust. May be worth selectin tech forum by the way. You should get lots of info there, as this crops up quite a bit, and will give you plenty to read whilst waiting for replies

Good luck, hope this helps,

Myk.

Thanks, have had a scan and few folks mention JP..? Hopefully find out the best options through here soon! Stainless would be ideal although £££££££ Looks like I'll need some plus gas and luck with the studs.... whichever way I go!!!
Cheers,
pete

Thanks for that, checked on Wiki before posting but Iam unsure as to why JK werent on there? Are their parts cheaper but inferior quality? Cant find any info on stainless exhaust systems other than JP? Dont know who/what these are...? Local places seem very expensive!
Learning more all the time....

Probably 'cos they're taken for granted as a parts supplier.. either that or we just haven't got a round tuit

Though personally, have built up quite a collection over the years...

Been pointed to http://www.jpexhausts.co.uk/ for Stainless Exhaust Systems, Thanks to burnso for that

Quoted £530 inc VAT, waiting on them for delivery times, more info etc. It seems that with a lifetime quarantee these are well worth the extra ££££. Any thoughts on GSF vrs JK for service bits an bobs?
cheers

Have you chased up the discount that TerryTerry (vanman) originally negotiated on 5-off from them (I think)... it means they've done the job, know the design and have some templates - pretty sure the price was less than £530 - but it was a couple of years ago now, maybe a bit more.

TerryVanman at the time, but I now realsie this thread was on the old ezBoard forum that was hacked (with 9,000 others)

Someone will know the JP deal, think Andy McClelements will (SyncroAndy)
