Colin,
If you're based in Switzerland, can I suggest you try a British supplier
rather a US one? Whilst I would hate to deprive SS of your custom, there
are a number of very reputable and suppliers in the UK and clearly the
cost of contacting them and having items shipped to Switzerland will be
a lot less than the US.
The three companies I would suggest you try are:
Sunbeam Classic Spares
(Chris & Julie Draycott)
The Old Surgery, Grimesgate,
Diseworth, Derby DE74 2QD
Telephone (UK+44) (0)1332 850856
Fax (UK+44) (0)1332 814792
Sunbeam Supreme
70 Cannock Street, Troon Industrial Estate,
Leicester LE4 9HR.
Telephone (UK+44) (0)116 274 2525
Fax (UK+44) (0)116 274 1411
www.sunbeamsupreme.co.uk
sales@sunbeamsupreme.co.uk
Alpine West Midlands Ltd.
The Firs
Stratford Road
Hockely Heath
Solihull
West Midlands
B94 5NJ
Tel: +44 (0)1564 783222
Fax: +44 (0)1564 782649
www.http://www.sunbeam-alpine.co.uk/
I wouldn't say any one of these companies was better than any other but
that Alpine West midlands does tend to have the larger stock of spares
available at any given point in time. This said however, it's also true
the Sunbeam Supreme have a reputation for producing excellent quality
reproductions. All my hood parts for my Series IV have come from them
and I'm very satisfied.
Hope I've been able to help.
Regards,
William
PS: I have a defintive list of suppliers, restorers and specialist shops
all across the world in MS Word format which I could give you wanted.

|Thanks everyone.
|Yes, I could try calling, but the call (from Europe) would
|cost more than the parts. I appreciate Rick's set-up, and wish
|him luck. I have also seen good things about SS on the list.
|Great on-line catalogue, but a great shame he can't meet
