Anyone know of \"Keypart\"

I have been searching for a company called "keypart" who are suppliers of marine engine spares. I have searched the internet which just bombards me with loads of similar names.

I believe keypart do reasonably priced Volvo and Mercruiser spares, which is why I want to find them - £40 for one oil filter really p1sses me off!!

Nothing in particular at this stage Barry. A chap I know mentioned them some time back. He also mentioned that if I get the serial numbers of the engines and drives, that they would keep them on file for any future purchases, also they could give an outline of what lines they do for those engines and drives.

Ah yeah, they bung you on their mailing list. Then they do a mail shot that is of interest to you and your engine/drive. Good idea as it saves wading thru all the crap.

I needed some new reverse pawl latches. Couldn't believe the price each. So I just buzzed them with the welder and filed back to appropriate profile. Saved meself a load of dosh.

The web site is a bit crappy though. You can't get prices directly from it and they assume that your going to purchase it. The time it takes you might as well phone'em with what you want.

Super Rare bolts! Never go to VP for any bolts. I always go to Jones Industrial fasteners. They do super rare bolts. If they haven't got it in stock then they'll make it. Bet they charged you in the region of 14/15 quid from sweden.
