Question: Series II - I'm looking to buy brake wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and other brake components as well as a few (prob lots) other new spares. May I ask who the go-to suppliers are these days. Used to buy from the UK as well but freight prices was always a concern. Message me if more appropriate. thanks Nighthawk.
Even with freight, buying from the UK usually works out cheaper than buying locally. This changed a bit when GST was added on imports under $1,000 but still savings to be made.
Typically the same parts as you'd get locally (**itpart, Bearmach etc.).
Most charge in AUD and collect the GST.

The only drawback is should a part be wrong or faulty it's costly to return although speaking to the supplier may get a replacement part sent FOC.
So pay a premium and have local support or save money and buy overseas.
