Everyone has their own preferred suppliers and will tell you that they are the best. If you have not arrived at that stage of your parts purchasing yet, I recommend you refer to our "Parts and Service Suppliers" database.
http://www.sl113.org/data/show_table.asp?table_name=usr_parts_and_service_suppliersCall as many as you have to until you find about 4 that you feel comfortable with. By comfortable, I mean that they really understand the parts you are describing, can convey some assistance with replacing them, and don't have much trouble getting them to you in a timely manner. If you can find 4 people like that, then you go for best price or fastest delivery, whichever is more important to you that day. I hope you find a couple favorite parts suppliers, it really makes things easier. Good luck!
