Replacement Parts? Where to order?

[FFR6870]

Hi, I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed to death, or if there is an obvious answer I am just missing, but I am in desperate need of replacement parts for an MK3.1 kit. Little things like spacers, nuts and bolts for the front and rear shocks (Koni coil over, non donor car). I poked around on the Factory Five parts website, but couldn't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am the second owner of a MK3.1 that is in bad shape. It needs pretty much everything. I'm trying to to make the best of it, and having a place where I can purchase replacement kit parts would be a great help! I did do a search on the forum quickly and didn't see anything obvious.

Thank you in advance.

I ordered various sizes of aluminum tube from speedymetals.com to make/modify spacers. No size limit from them, so it made it easy.

Mark at Breeze is great. Other forum vendors as well. My local Ace hardware store has a great selection of hardware and the routine stuff is available there. Not cheap piece-by-piece, but in my opinion better selection and quality than the big box stores. For specialty items, I use McMaster Carr. Great selection, great service, etc. Again, not the cheapest but still a great resource.

Having said that, though, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call Factory Five. Their on-line catalog just has the big stuff. Many items are available only by calling.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I wrote and email to Mark at Breeze, we'll see what he has to say. I'll probably be calling tech support at Factory Five tomorrow to see if I can get the right parts from them as well.

The specific situation that I am dealing with now is the spacers and the bolts for the shock mounts. They just don't look like they are right, as a matter of fact, they look terrible.

Thanks everybody! You guys are fast!

For various bolts, nuts and washers I get mine at Fastenal. Should be a bolt place somewhere around you or get what you need online. Specific parts I get from the vendors here.

I use Mcmaster Carr for all this sort of stuff. Amazing selection, almost everything always in stock, reasonable prices, super cheap shipping rates, no-questions-asked return policy...what's not to like? And no, I don't own McMaster stock!
