Where to buy squareback parts online
Beastieboy - December 28th, 2013 at 12:29 PM

Hi all,
In the near future, I'm going to need to buy a few grands worth of parts for my squareback project. Pretty much all rubbers, carpets, seat covers, roof lining, etc.
just wondering where people recommend I shop for this stuff. After decent quality. It reasonably priced.
Looking at isp west. Product is meant to be decent but postage is a killer. Anybody use a shipping agency to get Bette shipping prices? Or recommend other places online to buy their parts from?
Anybody in Australia do decent type 3 carpets and seat covers?
Thanks I'm advance!

I bought an exhaust system from ISP west and they shipped it through regular post (USPS) so shipping was ok. If you ask and they ship with regular USPS (not UPS) then it they can throw in all sorts of smaller parts for not much extra in shipping.

It all a matter of how many different suppliers you want to deal with to source all the parts you need. ISP will have more for type 3 than any other.

Beware buying carpet sets directly from TMI only as a friend had lots of problems with them being the correct with the pedal slots and detail there. There are also local suppliers of TMI so maybe they get it right somehow??

ISP West are the worlds leading supplier of new and uses type 3 parts. Great bunch of guys and their shop/workshop is Type 3 heaven!

Depending on where you are located as you need to update your profile, Outrage Motor Trimming in Queensland and Volkstrim in Victoria are awesome!

I bought my new interior seat covers, carpets and door panels from ISP - great service and reasonable postage if you order it the right way ( not via the website )

Email me at maicoletta at Hotmail dot com and I will let you know the best way and also what the parts cost me for my Squareback.

Cheers,
Mark.

we just call isp and thats the best way

Awesome. Thanks everyone! Sounds like ISP are the best way to go then.
Wonder why they do cheaper postage when you call them. Great to know though.

Isn't there a melbourne company that does Type 3 carpets?
Wonder what they're like in comparison to TMI.

As everyone has said, ISP are your guys, top notch service and every part you can think of. If you elect regular USPS as opposed to UPS, it definitely reduces the shipping a bit.

How's the Square going? Put up a pic! :)

Yeh, the above mentioned square is now for sale in the for sale section.
I came across an amazing 1965 square which needs very little doing to it, so I'm selling the square.

Will still need some parts though, so the above info is still helpful. :)

Well that sounds cool, good luck with the new one.
