New Owner - Parts and carpet recommendations?

[geeman237]

I am a new Griffith owner and am requesting your suggestions on TVR, specifically pre-cat Griffith parts and carpets.
Who are the usual suppliers? Some I have found are TVR Parts, Racetechdirect, and Powers. Any more?
As for carpets I can only find Coverdale and Lakewell. I am thinking of the mid range Coverdale set. Any thoughts? I will be fitting them myself.
I am looking for standard parts right now, rear discs, pads, starter motor.... general major service items.
Are there any (decent) TVR breakers?

I also need a bonnet prop, mine is missing.

Thank you

Good morning Geeman. Have a look in the parts list wiki at the top of this forum, good info there to get you started.

I'm guessing with the US import rules, you have a precat Griffith?

You guess correct sir.
I have already trawled the wiki etc, and got the info. Very helpful. For me I will be looking for suppliers who are prepared to ship to the US with prompt service and reasonable shipping. Shipping can really hike the price, especially if it gets dragged through customs etc, but on the other side, I don't pay VAT on the parts.
The Rover V8 is reasonably well served here through Triumph TR8's and Range Rovers. I have no desire to do an LS swap over here either.
I'm reasonably handy with the spanners and plan on maintaining the car myself.
