Use the icon of the world with a bit of chain in front of it (link to the world [groan]) located just above where you are typing.
It's in the middle of the row with the bold/italic/underline buttons.

Call me suspicious, but....a search of dickieboy's profile would have a man thinking that him and the new parts supplier might be closely
connected. ????

I reckon you are right Sid. The contact number on the website is 01709, which is the code for Rotherham. This fits dickieboys profile and may explain
the parts he has had for sale recently  The biggest give-away though, would be the photograph on the website, which is the same car in dickieboys
photo archive.
Then again you could have added 2+2 and got 5

another parts supplier
Well done Dr watson.
I am the very same person, not that it matters though?
I live in Maltby, the same as you Hellfire, i think about 2 mins from you, if ive guessed your location correvtly from your early photos.
Not that i need to explain myself, but the replies posted made things sound very doggy indeed.
After several years going through several builds, if have decided to try to move on a step, and test the water with the web page as i found that i
could supply allot of parts the builders require.
Ive been selling bits and pieces to TVR restorers and stock car builders, brake pipe, heat tape, petrol bits etc, so i have produced the web page.
Dont get me wrong i dont intend on trying to compete with the MK's of the kit car industry , not that they will be at all bothered, i am basing
the whole idea on budget costs, and the MK chassis is very good, i dont have the equipment to bend the nice looking box the way they do.
And maybe some people are more driven to price than design? If a chassis does what its designed to do, looks anything like Ron's, and is at
locost price then maybe thats what locost builders require?

i think the issue is you where not completely above board.
Your post implied (to me) that you did not have an association with the company and had just discovered them. The key phrase being "seem to have
lots of choice". If that had been written, "i've got lots of choice" it would have been much clearer.
So, any chance of those sizes?

Believe it or not, you actually live across the road from my parents 
As far as I'm concerned, the more suppliers - the better. Especially ones on your doorstep.
So what parts/bits do you do for sevens??

The maine components are brake parts, pipe, clips, fittings. Petrol parts, pipe, clips, hose, filters, but the items i will be cheapest in are the
electrical items, crimps, ties, cable,switches, buttons, warning lights, lights and bolts.
I can also supply laser cut plates to customers drawings or sketches at very competitive prices, altough the delivery can some times be 5 days. Maybe
too long for most builders as i know i always wanted my parts yesterday, once i had the go ahead from her indoors to spend the money.
What number do your parents live at!
