Question Canadian Part Source?

Quick question -

I've been searching for a place I can buy parts that ships to Canada.

I found a number of great sites for some after-market and parts that fit but unfortunately they only shop to the lower 48 in the US so, while promising, I haven't found a Canadian supplier. MevoTech was looking promising but they seem to have a catalogue but no way to order (I'll be digging in on the more tomorrow). I need/want a few things so I don't have to rely on my mechanic for every little thing.

NOTE: I am not restoring this car to an all original state but I am looking for replacement that won't require more more than an in/out switch.

Mevotech is Chineseum front end parts -- good thing they don't ship to you !!! --- you don't want it, anyway.....

What is it you are looking for ??? I have routinely sent things into Canada while the border has been closed these last 16 months.....

Yours, Craig......

Good to know! I just found them last night in a flurry but didn't research them

I'm looking for a source on a lot of things in time depending on what I try to fix and break in the process haha, the item of interest at the moment is a center link. Just had some from end work done but could not find a replacement for the center link as of yet.

A Center Link for what vehicle ???
I have hundreds of Brand New Center Links, including for some vehicles, where they are in the
Rebuilding world ONLY --- without knowing me....

State Year and Vehicle.

I have a 77 Cutlass S

But I am still looking for reliable Canadian part dealers too (conversions and import fees can be pricy after a while)

Well, we will see if anyone North of the border, responds to you, EH ??

In the meantime, that is Newer than what I keep in stock, but ARE readily available.....

In the Chineseum world, they are as cheap as under $ 30...
MOOG has discontinued it -- It is now Obsolete through them -- but there still are some Moogs on shelves around the planet.... they would be $ 80.00 right now.

I know to send them via the Post Office, and NOT UPS, Where you get hit with a 37 % tax, upon delivery....

If you need me, let me know..... Yours, Craig....

ThankS Craig, shame you don't have one in stock! I do think I've found one I can shipped to me but that's not definite.

Do you have anwebsite or online store I can bookmark for the future?

I have bought parts from Year One, The Parts Place, Fusick and Legendary, to name but a few. None of them had any difficulty shipping to Canada.

Have you tried NAPA or Lordco?
Found the center link at NAPA with no effort at all. $94.00

Where are you located anyway?

Nova Scotia.

My mechanic was said he was having having issue finding one so I assume he tried NAPA. I'll know more on his end when I get into the shop this week to bring the car home after it's after purchase "hospital" visit (I'm learning things so I didn't want to tackle the full unknown solo right away) and I have a local part source I've yet to touch base with.

Just exploring some options for future lasts as well as I think I'll need new door components in the future as well.

Napa price is in Canadian, and there no brokerage fees or import fees, and your dollar is better, thats why is cheaper.

So anybody will ship to Canada, Try rockauto, I find there prices the best. 15 Canadian.. So Im Canadian and I added it to the cart did the shipping to Can and taxs, to your door 38 bux.
