I have a friend who's going to be rebuilding a 1948 straight six P15. I haven't bought any Mopar parts for a while so can anybody recommend a parts supplier in the UK? Are US Automotive still the best bet? Or would he be better sourcing direct from the US?
Cheers!

A lot depends on what he needs, and I bet he needs a lot.

That engine might be similar to the T245 engine in the M37 and M43 range, so military suppliers might be able to help.

Re: 1948 Straight Six Engine
May well be the US, I would imagine Martin. No offence to our UK suppliers, but since I’ve been ordering parts again, I’ve rung round loads for pretty run of the mill stuff and not been able to get it.
I have found them all pretty helpful in recommending places though.
Topspeed automotive (think this is what used to be Frosts) have been one of the best I’ve found, they seem to have warehouses UK and USA (website shows which parts are where) and ship over regularly
Hope this helps a bit
