Ok, I have no problems with D-T, I've used them before and found them to be very good. But what's the harm in shopping around for bits for my racing car to be?
So, anyone else you'd recommend?

Well that's where I buy raceware from anyway, but they also sell parts for cars etc.

As a matter of interest, I heard that Alan Minshaw has bought Tweeks back from Frank Sytner recently..

Never used them for any components on my car (not a motor sport car mind) - normally purchase directly from manufacturer if possible.
Think Automotive ( the Mocal people) have a very wide range of plumbing bits and bobs - but make sure you know what part you need and ideally the part number - as you are dealing with a small company who dont have time to spend ages on the phone whilst you umm and arr.

Pretty sure it was an MBO with some Sytner head bods. Fearless had sold up when the Tweeks deal went through, IIRC...
