Hi Chris....and others on this thread.... I have in fact tries Brian Asbury as well as Ralph Journeay....both about a 2 hour drive....the only other somewhat close source is Willy's Acres but as per previous post he screwed me on a 1942 MB restoration deal even though I gave him $30,000 up front and did not quibble on price so he is not an option even though he is only 25 minutes away. Here in Ontario the HST is 13% and delivery via USA would be brutal (a 3lb parcel from USPS) coming from Walcks, Eriks Military or other supplier (although they are great to deal with) is about $24 to $35US not including the CDN/US conversion so if my local Canadian suppliers (Brian & Ralph or local NAPA) do not have the parts I unfortunately have to shop the US suppliers and yes delivery prices are frightening. In fact, my last US order shipped via UPS....they charged me $40.00US for delivery of a <3lb parcel but also wanted $40.00 as a brokerage fee all for $35.00 US in parts.....I fought it and the brokerage fee was taken off as a one time gesture.....UPS delivery from the US....never again.
All the very best to you all.....
