This is our local parts supplier in Melbourne for second hand and
reproduced Alpine and Tiger stock. He does carry a fair bit of stuff but it
really is just from parts cars he brings in from the US. For repro stuff
it's sourced from the suppliers you already know. No-one is remanufacturing
Sunbeam parts in Australia to my knowledge. He has been mumbling for two
years now about reproducing (amber) indicator lenses with a plastics
manufacturer from our local sunbeam club as I told you way back when, Tom,
but don't say I told you all.
He has always treated me very well and since the Sunbeam community here is
small and interconnected it would be silly for us to not all treat one
another with respect and trust. When I convinced my old man to buy a Tiger,
(Trevor) Pickard went and looked at it for us in San Diego and arranged all
the shipping and tax payments.
A good source for NOS stuff for all the Rootes Group cars exists here but
their customer service is appalling, sometimes you are forced to go there
and often they have what you want.
