Where to shop online?

Post by Merlin »

's up all?

WolfsburgWest does not stock IRS conversion brackets, and Cip1.com is out of stock.

I'm not placing my main bug chassis order yet, but I do want to bring in a few items now...4 x tie-rod ends, and my brackets.

The place I'm looking at for my bug order doesn't stock this kind of stuff, so where do I order from?

vwparts.net wants double anywhere else, so they're out too. :(

Cheers, N.

I don't unfortunately.

Every place seems to be different. :(

At the moment I'm just after tie-rod ends (4x), and a set of IRS conversion brackets.

Tie-rod ends are usually between 40 and 45 dollars a piece, and the brackets around 25.

The main chassis order can wait until the exchange rate comes back from holiday.

Will talk to you soon though, Pierre.

Thanks. :)

I have used CSP a few times. Not cheap but they do have the best equipment for fabrication of your own converstions and chassis / suspension upgrades.

Hey Tony,

I'm not really keen to buy from any of the EU shops as they tend to get their stuff from The States, and their Euro pricing is crazy :!:

Thanks anyway. I'll wait it out with Cip1.com or keep looking. :)

Cheers, N.
