I second the positive comments regarding Rick & Sunbeam Specialties. I have
never once, in 20 years of dealing with Sunbeam Specialties, been unhappy with
the quality and "value" of their offerings as a "full line" supplier. I also
used to experience similar results with "Tiger Tom" in PA (who is no longer
active in the Tiger/Alpine parts business).
I'm about to start on my second Tiger restoration, and Sunbeam Specialties
will be my first "go to" supplier for parts I need. Rick and his associates
have always been very helpful and provided great customer service along with
high quality parts.

Cullen,
I can't speak for all of Rick's parts, but I do know he will only carry
high quality parts, unlike some other marketers (VB) who go for the
biggest margin. I do know, for certain, that he has parts made for him,
or in conjunction with CAT for minimum quantity or volume cost
considerations. For instance their combined special run with CAT for
Koni adjustable shock absorbers for the Tiger/Alpine.
While he did use English suppliers, previously, for many parts. They
are now mostly made in the USA.
Rick also has literature such as the Work Shop Manual he graciously
contributed to TigersUnited.com
And also has the original molds for the LAT aluminum valve covers for
his source, and many other things made to order.
Check him out at: http://www.rootes.com/
A happy customer.
Steve
