English and Pepsi's are all welcome we don't discriminate everybody is welcome.
If I can get the pounds and you guys pick up the cost of shipping from Miami Florida to our 52nd most northern state of Canada.

It will not be right ! today ,
it will take several weeks to set up.
enough time for everybody to get there wish list and rob a bank .

Yoke, you can order parts from Octagon (they order weekly, Thursday so order before) and only pay shipping from Vancouver (no UK shipping or duty). They were originally a MG shop (hence the name) they do more and more Triumph stuff. I've ordered TR7 parts from them.

http://www.octagonmotorgroup.com/

Same for Drake Motors in Kelowna which is closer to you. They deal mostly in cars that they can make money from, TR3, TR4, TR250 TR6, but you can give them a call.

http://www.drakesbritishmotors.com/main.shtml

They are Moss Motors distributors so you have to order from Moss Motors catalogue.

I only order stuff from VB on their winter sale catalogue or from Robsport/S&S if it's something Moss doesn't have.

The only caviate is if there is any question about part/parts number they are not TR7 experts so are only order takers in that sense. ie I ordered the steering cowling screw they sent one half the length.

Because you don't pay duty or UK shipping it is probably cheaper for any Canadian location, certainly from western Canada.

I didn't think calling a French Canadian a Pepsi was a good thing especially if he was bigger than you...

I know Zeke went to school in Montreal, so I think you must be on the right track.

He once went listed all the contries he has lived in. I am confident that he can use slang from many languages.

Octagon are good to deal with but like Spyder said they aren't TR7 experts. They brought in a TR7 windshield for me when I couldn't find one, and they did it for a reasonable price.
You can also try ABC (All British Cars) in Burnaby BC. It is run by Ruth Burgess who was service manager for a couple of well known Vancouver BL dealers in the 70's. She has forgotten more about British car parts than any of us will ever learn!

York,

In the east you can try Obsolete Automotive, www.obsoleteauto.com, in Sarnia for TR7 parts. They are a Moss distributor, and they do have quite a few used TR7 parts.

You can also try Christian Hollum Imports in Lachine, QU, www.christianhollumimports.ca. Chris doesn't carry a lot in TR7 but regularly orders parts from UKand maybe able to order what you need.

There is also Fred McEachern, at British Auto Sport, 1-888-485-2277, Troy, ON, britishautosport@bellnet.ca. Fred's a distributor for Moss and VB.

If you can somehow bring over a new fuel filler tube for a 1980 convertible that would be fantabulous.

I must attend to the Pepsi comment first.
Back in prehistoric times In Boarding School(1965 -1969)

The French Canadians (PEP-SIS) and the English Canadians (THE ING-LISH) had nicknames for each other ,

But of course, everything can be made
negative , deamining, and distructive

My intention,in the content that it was said,
was clear ,
As your sibling ,
Born from the same mother, Triumph .

Because all of us ,
in here,
are a little nuts,

I felt I was with my clan,
a mixture of many raises ,
religions ,
and nationalities.

Felt comfortable to point out, that I knew the secret between you two,

and that I a brother, could mention the nikname that only you two

dare to speak only amongst yourselves.

NOW!

If I have offended any ING-LISH or PEP-SI, please accept my deepest and profound apologies .

There are some parts that I don't seem to find here in this side of the world.
I will check the new sources you guys have mentioned ( Thank You)

1) The Idea is for you to make your wish list
2) See if you got or can get the moneys
3) lets see how much all of it is in volume and weight

By then i should have the rest figured out.

Have Fun Be Safe
