Craig Stanley of LI NY sources all US made NORS parts for US cars, anyone used him before?

 

I've know Craig (Mobileparts) for a while. He has a large stash of NORS parts. He has an incredible database of part numbers. He usually has the best prices around.

 

Thanks Joe, he has all NORS TRW valves and parts the I need for a valve job for my '69 350,, thanks for the input.
Will be placing an order for all US parts needed, which is great.

 

what's his area of expertise? Engine parts?

 

Engine, front end, bushings, ie: most mechanical parts, but no trim afaik.
I'm ordering everything for my '69 350's valve job. Prices are good and he can generally provide all US made NORS parts from a networks of old-time parts stores he's developed. He prefers to operate via phone, the phone # is 516 485 1935 for inquiries.

 

He goes by member Mobileparts on here. The best way to contact him is by phone. Sells a lot of steering, suspension, brake, and other mechanical parts.

 

Craig goes around buying stocks of NORS replacement parts. Old Moog, TRW, McQuay-Norris, Wagner, Raybestos, etc. Sometimes he gets NOS GM stuff, but mostly it's old US-made replacement parts that have been sitting on a shelf in a warehouse for decades. Primarily engine, suspension, and brake parts. He was able to hook me up with NORS upper ball joints and idler arm for my 67 Delta, for example. Those parts are unobtainium these days.

 

Are NORS parts made in the USA and Canada?
Wood he have 80's made moog bushings etc?
Wheel cylinders that were made in the USA/CAN

 

Ive bought stuff from Craig a few times and he is a straight shooter supplying tune up, suspension and brake parts among others. Old school so give him a call and he will call back if he doesn't answer.

 

Actually, Craig has a tablet now and actually uses email!

 

I saw him last year at a swap meet in MA he had a flip phone...

 

Hey, my cell phone still is a flip top phone... What is wrong with it --- other than I can't buy a case for it anymore, and it is shoddy !!!!
All you guys with the kind words, THANK YOU..... And, I think you all know that I have continued to buy some awesome parts for our Special Cars and Rides to K T A F -----
Keep Them American Forever !!!!!
Joe P. --- You forgot my Very Best Miracle for you !!! The Original +++ DELCO / KELSEY-HAYES +++ Rear Brake Drums for your 1967... That might have been your most ultimate score yet !!!

I will continue to serve my friends and family here in the Oldsmobile community until the day I die....with a few jokes, and happiness along the way (who wants to purchase from a crabby old man ?!?!). I will continue to buy those special parts any time I find them )( I have three (3) N.O.S. ONLY ++ DELCO / G.M. 1956 OLDS only Ignition Switches right now !!!!!)

Man Love for you all.... Stay Safe all, until we see each other at the car shows, again....
Until then, Call me anytime you need or want......
Yours, Craig.......

 

Actually, the miracle was the indirect one - those NOS front rotors that I bought from a local seller, and HE had gotten them from you.

 

Yes, that was good...And especially, since, at that time, mine, the only ones in the universe for the preceding 20 years, were already GONE .....
That was a great one also ....

Holiday Sedan / Roger --- we are all family, here... Great servicing you.... Have a great vacation...
I will send to you on Friday the 14th, and talk to you with your courtesy call on Monday, the 17th upon your return.... Yours, Craig...

 

Dam your good Joe!
While I was typing out my question inquiring what NORS parts are you were answering my question.

 

NORS just means New Old Replacement Stock ie: old aftermarket parts.
Whereas NOS usually means New Old Stock ie vintage OEM (GM) parts.

I was lucky to stumble across Craig on here, and he's come across with all the right parts for my '69 Cutlass valve job.
It's a bloody shame this stuff is no longer made here where it should be, but at least those of us who don't want to take a chance with putting Chinese crap parts on our babies can still get some good stuff.

I agee nothing better than made in the USA for our classics, I also use made in Canada parts

 

True that, and I'd imagine that perhaps many "Hecho in Mexico" parts are good too for some newer parts, as the factories are generally still owned and controlled by US companies like Moog, Raybestos, etc. They get the benefit of much the lower labor cost but the materials and procedures are the same. As for China, I can't trust a country that does stuff like putting adulterants in baby formula... unbelievable.
