OBTAINING replacement parts from UK

I have attempted to purchase replacement part for some hard tops (LATE SERIES) I have from a source in the UK. Radford Panels fabricates and sells these parts but states they no longer ship outside the UK.

The pieces I need are:
SA 87 SA 88 HARD TOP SIDE RAIL WINDOW REPAIR
SA 89 SA 90 HARD TOP PART BACK AND VERTICAL SIDE
SA 91 HARD TOP REAR WINDOW BACK RAIL COMPLETE
SA 92 SA 93 HARD TOP VERTICAL SIDE ( CORNER KIT )

Do any of you know what can be done (within reason) to purchase these items and items of interest?

If there is a member of our SAOCA that lives in the UK that would purchase these items a VAT will most likely be included. Perhaps that could be bypassed if there are to be shipped to the US. Is there a viable solution?

Any solutions, suggestions, comments?

Talk to Jeff Howarth. He sells the everyday panels and would most likely be able
to help get these.

Hi Dan,

Apologies, I must have missed your original email.

How many hardtops are you wanting panels for and which sections do you need?

I can speak to Redford and order for you if you wish and then send them on to you.
