Use Huggett or Vech
Vech also sells all of Huggett's parts (and many others), and despite a slight markup over Huggett's publicly advertised prices. I'm fine paying a little more to use a distributor in the same country as myself and because Vech and team often go above and beyond with tech support, customer service, etc.

Meier is generally a good supplier
Having said that, a limited selection is available, so at times you have get parts from Germany or Vech. You will find that so many of the replacement parts came from the same suppliers. Look around and check prices and make sure it makes sense to order from Germany -- ask questions on the part quality before you fork the big money. On a name brand part such KS pistons, it does not matter where you get it; is the same part from any supplier.
Good luck --

Thank you for all the
I live in South Africa so guessing shipping is an expensive pill I will have to swallow.
Just for interest sake, what delivery time did it take for the items to arrive and did they arrive to your door or did you have to fetch them from a depot?

I haven't ordered from Meyer,
Being in Australia, shopping locally in USA sort of doesn't count, so I reckon look everywhere because what you need is what you need and different places might have much of the same stuff but it is the specific required item that gets the order placed.

Shipping times
In practical terms, you need to realize it is a 'cottage' industry and I have had some quality issues with all of them, including some BMW parts .... the old OEM suppliers, process and tooling no longer make the original parts, so you get the best parts you can find.
I would say that many of the parts are not even made in Germany any longer..... but they are available and that is NICE!
Cheers --
