Parts

Anyone ever use these guys?? They have lots of MG stuff.. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php

Yeah. Cheapest price is cheapest stuff but they do carry some good parts.
Haven't tried them for MG stuff but got VW, chevy and dodge parts along with the occasional Volvo (122s) bit. Selection is actually pretty thin in the european older stuff as the files seem to be clogged with "universal" fit and accessory items that may or may not work right (I've avoided that stuff).

Just ordered this stuff from Amazon of all places. Clutch kit and wheel kit for the MGA and got free shipping... Pulled the part # from the Rock Auto parts site and tried amazon just to see... got to be a smart shopper these days..

Yes, I have purchased lots of quality VW, Volvo and Toyota parts from Rockauto - I also purchased a pair of Raybestos Spridget calipers. When they arrived, they were both for the right side even though the part numbers were different on the boxes and ink stamped on the calipers (obviously a Raybestos error). When I called customer service, they quickly authorized a return and shipped out another without waiting to receive the return. Quality, customer service, and shipping speed have been top-notch and shipping costs very reasonable. I will buy there again.

Rock Auto is a good source. Especially for "supplies" like things.

Amazon surprises often on lots of stuff.

watch to see if it is shipped by them or a linked vendor. usually better overall (price+shipping) deal if they ship it.

Purchased new calipers. Very reasonable and great shipping.

Not bad. It was only a couple of years back you could buy a rebuilt set of HIFs from them. But, you can also buy a reman Beck/Arnley starter for an MGA $36. Not bad at all.

They do have some great looking prices. I'm bookmarking their website for future use. Thanks for the tip!

I too had good luck with rock auto parts. Good prices and good parts too.

I've heard their name recommended several times on other than LBC site. Usually in association with low prices. Never used them myself.
