I was going to look into this further but thought someone might have already done it .... It seems at first glance that some parts are much cheaper from this place: http://www.kieftenklok.nl/shop/index.php/en/homepage/t2-1968-1979/t2-opbouw/t2-voordeur eg, check straps for cab doors ... and some definitely not (opening quarterlights) Anyone already done the groundwork on this? "I feel an app coming on!"
Seems to depend on what you're looking for ... Front door locking mechanism 44.5 euros (£40) vs £52 from VWH. Database anyone
Add the Pound to Euro transaction costs and delivery charges and the difference wouldn’t be worth worrying about. But they do have a huge stock and a lot of hard to find parts.
