I'm looking for a parts source. Should I single-source or piece-meal? Any reports on Kanter's in New Jersey or Patrick's? Are Nylen pistons OK? Thx. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 |
Kanter is an excellent company.
Patrick is a great guy. Call him and you will get personal service and 100% satisfaction if you have any problems.

Also Tom Langdon is a great resource and Egge Machine will be there in a pinch | | | | | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 546 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 546 | I got a rocker arm assembly from Egge. I was in a hurry and they had it so I bought it. After looking around later I found I could have gotten it about 40% cheaper, but I dont remember from who.
Take your time and compare prices. Good luck.
