As quality parts have become harder and harder to come by, the time has come for us to create a parts thread that contains sources for QUALITY replacement parts.
As many have noticed, even with our go to parts sources, quality OEM or better parts are NLA and being replaced with Scantech, URO, MTC and the like that are designed to fit and be as cheap as possible and not much more.
PROTIP: Avoid Scantech MTC and URO if at all possible, I have never had a good experience with one of their products unless it is something that is impossible to screw up.
Here's my contribution, nothing new for most but will keep the noobs at bay. I'll reserve a few posts and update as people contribute. I've listed a few parts I used to know where to find but cant find a bookmark or on google anymore. I will also list on going group buys or people on the board that are constantly churning out goods. If any members want their names removed from the list let me know.
DISCLAIMER: Niether turbobricks.com nor I are responsible for the actions of any vendors listed here.
