A few years ago I received cataloges from Black Dragon and Vic Brit Ltd. Are they still in business? Has anybody had purchasing experience with them?

 

My last catalog was from Winter '08...anybody get a Summer edition? It's kind of hit and miss. I've bought quite a bit from them and, for the most part, it's OEM or Borg Warner stuff that's been on the shelf a while. Some of the weird stuff, like the underhood lamp, is just Chinese junk. On average, I'd say they are ok, though, if they are still around.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Dare I assume you're talking about Black Dragon? I bought stock rear view mirrors from Vic Brit and they were OEM...But that was back in mid 90's. Any further suggestions anybody?

 

VB is now Black Dragon.

 

They're still in business. I called them about 2 mos ago when I was looking for stock fenders. I had an old catalog that showed each fender for $149...girl on the phone said they were over $400 each....I just hung up.

Yep, they're still around.

But for stock parts you might want to try www.rockauto.com first

And for performance parts www.re-speed.com

 

I just bought a BAC Valve from 915 RACING. guy that answered told me he has a salvage yard in North Texas and all he deals in is Mazda RX-7s. I haven't recieved the part yet, so I can't judge him yet, but was curious to know if anybody's had any luck (good or bad) with this company? It seems that I don' have many options around South Louisiana except for online services.

 

Ive ordered a few parts from him and had great results. Everythings been as described. His salvage yard is in Wichita Falls, TX. I check his place first anytime I need trim pieces or other little OEM stuff.
