I have bought parts from Empi . I believe the don’t sell to you directly, they might be a distribution center . They might have a place in your area . Also there is Pacific J Bugs . Check out Craigs List for mechanic , go to car shows ,see who’s driving a VW aircooled ask them . They can help .

Here’s a list I’ve compiled over the years. Some are for the original T-series MG, some are for Cobra or Speedster replicas or for VWs, but carry parts that can be used on our cars:

Great list Bill!

 

Hard pressed to add to it, but Moss Motors has reproduction parts that also work on our TDr’s

I am in the Chicago area but have done most of my mechanical work so can’t offer any advice on mechanics.  TheSamba has a breakdown of community/businesses/general service/repair which you can search for Illinois locations.  You can’t sort by location.  Can’t recommend any of them.

I get most of my parts from either http://www.aircooled.net/ or http://www2.cip1.com/

I can’t believe I left Moss Motors off that list. Thanks, Paul.
