I'd have to heartily agree with the good vendor news. Spitbits is a godsend compared to any other major or minor parts supplier that I have ever dealt with. Deal with my usual Toronto area guy and you have to wait 10 days usually for items that others would normally stock. Not only that, but sometimes his prices really surprise me. Head gasket set for a 1970 TR6 - $130 CAD What the f(#k is that all about? - I have the bill!! 2 Minor trunnion kits are $38US but at Spitbits it is only $16.00 for both. $38.25US for 2 rubber wishbone bushes, Spitbits $20! 2 carpet kits $700US spitbits $398. As long as shipping is less than $300US :-P then you still come out ahead! Add 15% tax to everything and the differences get even larger!
I think Spitbits online order system needs work, but everything else is excellent. Shipping rates are CHEAP and billed AT COST WITH NO HANDLING as they appear on the USPS parcel. Everything ever ordered has been in stock - even oddball items that I would think are ordered sporadically. Never received an item that was damaged or of poor quality. Spitbits deserves the praise I see it is getting from other list members. I hope that I've convinced someone else to start giving Spitbits their business. Steve Reilly Ontario, Canada.
