Where can I buy MSD bits?

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?
Bruce

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

Re: Where can I buy MSD bits?

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.
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.
