Thanks Vick

I've had good experiences dealing with the big three vendors everyone knows, I'm so glad that I can get great parts at reasonable prices.

I'd like to say a big THANKS to Vicks in how they handled an order for me recently. I had a heater core that had some cosmetic issues that I could potentially have lived with. I sent an email about it and next time I opened my email there was an explanation (pressure testing) and a new core with a return box had already been shipped!

In this day and age great customer service is so appreciated.

Thanks Matt!

Great to hear of your good experience. If you're ever out in Livermore, looks me up. A garage with (currently) two Fiats, and another workshop with lots and lots of parts. I can also drive out to Alameda to check out your '72 spider some day.

Hi Bryan,

Nice to meet you. I've got a little bit to do before the car is on the road. Do you have a front wheel hub bearing spacer? They seem to be hard to find. Mine went flying off and I never did find it. Anyway, nice to have another Fiat enthusiast nearby.

I had a complete set of front hubs that I sold recently, so I don't believe I currently have a spacer. You could try Chris Obert at fiatplus.com, and although he lists this part as out of stock, he probably has some junk hubs sitting around that you could harvest off the spacer ring. You could also try calling Midwest-Bayless and see if they have one laying around.

I believe the part you are looking for is Fiat p/n 4111458.

Thanks for the good info. I'll try Chris again as it has been a while, people aren't too interested in hunting around for such a cheap part. There is a place in Switzerland that has them, but it would be a $30 part with shipping and all. I'm not buying anything from people off the web as I recently got burned for $50 for that part and a mirror.

Vicks always ships the same day unlike others
