Hi

I've been buying the odd Porsche part from Pelican Parts in the US. I recently placed an order with them.

They sent me an email to advise me that they had overcharged for postage and credited my Pay Pal $19.37 account, its good to have this sort of service when dealing with an overseas company.

Steve, German Auto Dismantlers in Georgia are very helpful with second hand parts. I got some cheap 944T calipers from them, no problem with shipping USPS as well.

Stoddards is the Standards that ALL of the others measure themselves against.

http://www.stoddard.com/shop/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=23&cat=356+Parts 

Separate Catalogs for each Marque.

The Stoddards Catalog is like a reference manual.

I've been using them since 1976 - at one stage they were bought out by Porsche and renamed as Porsche Special Products.

Their prices are reasonable and the service solid.

ALSO:
The US 356 Registry Vendors page is a good starting point:

http://www.porsche356registry.org/resources/356-vendor-links.html 


There are some problem Vendors out there but is problematic naming them on a public forum. I guess that you can expect that if they are recommended by the 356 Registry then, they haven't had reason to give them the flick.
