Can anyone offer suggestions as to the best place or places to purchase parts for these autos. I have the six cylinder with 2 stromberg carbs. I have discovered quite a bit of corrosion in the cooling system and intend to remove manifolds, etc to expose all of the hoses and lines associated with the cooling system. I will be needing gaskets, carb kits, etc. I am looking for a cooling system diagram as there is a possibility that the heater core will need to be removed and possibly replaced. The nipples that protrude through the firewall are corroded to the point of collapse. Is it possible to rebuild these parts or will they need to be replaced. I am having the radiator rebuilt locally and that should not be a problem. Thanks for any suggestions.

I've purchased lots of parts from SNG Barratt and find them to be very good and very knowledgable. Other well known suppliers are XK's Unlimited, Welsh Enterprises, Coventry West (Dick Maury is an E-type guru). Links to all of them can be found on this website or by searching the web. There are other suppliers for some specialty items, like Terry's Jaguar in Illinois, a good place for water pumps and engine parts, Bassett's in Rhode Island for interior kits and brake upgrades.
