Where can I buy MSD bits?

[bruce_mayo]

A simple question from a simpleton!
Without ordering one small item from Summit in the USA and incurring a standard $23.95 handling charge plus UK VAT and import charges, where can I buy such small specialist MSD purchases in UK? On this ocassion I'm just after an MSD high energy trigger module to fit in a standard Chevy HEI distributor to replace a dead module in there now. I have always had good service from Summit in the past but it's only been worthwhile for more major bulk purchases and can't wait for this one until I need lots of other stuff.
I'm assuming this one item is too specific for the likes of Repower, Real Steel, etc.
Anyone got a thought on this? Is there a specialist MSD stockist in UK?

I use ebay quite alot, loads of second hand bits in the states. Get them to mark it as "gift", no duty then

Hi Bruce

I bought by MSD dizzy off Ebay, however as you know you takes your chances.
Why use Summit? I bought the majority of my engine bits from Flatlander Racing in the states as they do not charge you a international handling charge plus they can "assist" you with the UK import duty thing, (PM me for more info on this).

Regards,
Martyn

Bruce, Just seen your location - Repower are in Lancing so really near to you.

If Repower can't help, you could try either American Auto Parts 02086847737 or Customville 02085901449

I have used Flatlander from time to time and have found them knowledgeable, helpful, efficient and competitive. I presume they are quite a bit smaller than Summit and thus seem to value their customers a bit more.
