Welcome to the sight. If you want to keep your suppliers in Canada there is also KMS, They have free shipping for over $99, and under 50 pounds, with some restrictions. If you want to go outside of Canada there are a ton of parts suppliers south of the border. Some I have used more often are, Jim Carter, The Filling Station, Brothers, and Classic. But there a lot more.

Lordco had brake cylinders off the shelf for my 1 ton, KMS Tools, The Old Car Centre.
Super55 has great suggestions also that I’ve used.
