KSTech-recommended vendors

[knucklesplitter]

There are a few places that I do a lot of business with, so I thought I would give them a plug and let you guys know what I like about them. Some of them I'm sure you know already.

McMaster-Carr: This place has everything in industrial supply. There prices are a little high but they get it to Reno in a day or two 95% of the time. I have been buying from them for over 20 years. We always said, "If McM-C doesn't have it then it probably doesn't exist."

Summit Racing: General speed equipment. Another place that has just about everything and it is usually in stock in Sparks. I have been buying from them for over 25 years (got me some them headers for my Chee-velle back in '83 - lol).

J&B Machine Company: 1450 Greg St. Sparks, NV 89431 (775) 359-9856. My general purpose and CNC machine shop for 3 years now.

Hood Machine Inc: 1055 Greg Street, Sparks, Nevada 89431, 775-331-730. The best welders I have ever worked with, especially stainless and aluminum. They do lots of big high-pressure ASME vessels that get x-rayed and all, so you know they know their shit. $85/hour but worth it.

Waterjet Machine, Inc: 4855 Joule St., Suite B3, Reno, Nevada 89502, Phone: (775) 853-8803. CNC Waterjet and laser cutting. These guys do lots of stuff for me and they give me a really good rate. If you need something cut in any pattern these guys can do it. I have seen parts cut out of 4" stainless.

Bolt Depot: Good prices on metric hardware, including stainless. Usually in stock.

SubaruGenuineParts.com: I hear people badmouthing Jamie on here, but she has always been very helpful to me. Still my preferred Subaru-brand parts vendor after over 100 orders.

SiliconeIntakes.com: Best prices on quality imported silicone hoses. I have a wholesale account and have lots of stuff laying around if you are looking for something. Shipping takes 2 days to Reno.

There are others too but I consider them proprietary I guess. Am I forgetting anybody?
