Just to ad my 2 cents worth for places that have given me great service
and prices
Realey Healey has been my favorite US suppliers they can ship you
anything from all of the big three's catalogues they knock 10% off
regular prices and 5% off sale prices so if you are price shopping a
large order and each of the big 3 has a different part of the order on
sale you can get it all from on supplier and only pay shipping from one
location.(NFI) They phoned to check on details after placing my order
etc and I'm in western Canada and they are in New Jersey.

The best priced Canadian supplier I've used is Octagon motor Group in
Vancouver I paid lees in Canadian funds for my floor panels than any US
supplier was charging in US funds on sale. The only down side of these
guys is they only publish a TR6 and MG catalogues so you have to phone
for pricing on cars like my TR3. Brake parts where the other item that
was significatly less from them. Their web site is not so hot but
customer service has been very good when I've contacted them.(NFI)

By my standards, go elsewhere... Don't waste your time with Triumphs
Only!
They won't help you unless you are in his shop.
Over the past year, I emailed three times, and even called four times
(from NY, not cheap), and got lots of lip service over the course of
FIVE
Months. Each time: "Sorry, I forgot... when I get around to it... give
me
a while... a couple of days... weeks, maybe next month". His business
must
be booming, because he could care less about "customer service."
Even the Big 3 take the time to answer back... Jeff Marks from the
TRShopLondon even called me once "just to follow-up" (from the UK at
night
taking in account the time delta) on a pre-order! There are plently of
vendors that can balance profitability with customer service, and are
just
plain nice. Mark Pelham is another (we have chatted quite abit).
For my Triumph dollar, there are plenty of other "caring" dealers that
are
both passionate about their business and customers, and offer fair
pricing. Here are a few, besides TRF, Moss and Rimmer (and o'course no
financial interest):
