Where do you buy your used parts if you cant find them on Pelican or ebay?

Looking for a 911 3.2 engine tin set and bracket for a 3.6 conversion into an SC but not having much luck in the FS forum. Ebay not much help lately either. Any dismantlers I should be contacting that are reputable? I need to cast my net a little wider. Thanks

+1 for tom1394racing. I've bought several used parts from Tom and everything has been as advertised and very serviceable.

Have you guys noticed when you opened the package/s from Tom Butler? I’ve been buying used parts in this forum for a long time and have not seen anyone packaged their stuff as well as this guy. His attention to detail is amazing. See you Tom B. in Spring at Hershey.

Aase has some used stuff from time to time. Usually rare-ish and pricey.

I’ve known Tom for a long time. Been to his house multiple times to pick up parts. He often has things you wouldn’t expect. Like when I needed a “new” 915 transmission. Had one!

Feels odd that I haven’t needed any parts lately so that I can visit and chat.

+1. You never know who might be having a sale on Porsche parts.

I always check Pelican first, but it is always possible that someone else is discounting the part you need.
