Mick Dolphin - great parts and service

#1 Post by yorkshire_spam »

I'm a big fan of having a whinge when things go wrong with suppliers... but today it's praise where it's due.

I didn't fancy butchering the loom or re-soldering connections when it came to replacing the ignition switch on Binny (early 4 pin potted connector) but struggled to find the right early part (216864 Ignition Switch 1850 to WF26607 )
As a last ditch I dropped Mick Dolphin an email and lo-and-behold he has them in stock!

I enquired on Thursday, paid on Friday and the parts arrived this morning - great parts and great service!
He might not have a fancy website, but well worth trying if you are looking for hard to find parts: http://www.mickdolphin.co.uk/frontpage.htm

Support your smaller Triumph/Classic suppliers! (I'm a fan of Paddocks, Fitchetts, Canleys, Robsport etc.)

Cheers, Sam

Sams here, does a few shows too, takes parts along etc, I've been to his man cave where he keeps all his stuff, stock constantly changing.

For parts that fall in to the 'unobtainable' or 'rocking horse poo' category, he is my first choice.
