Self build materials supplier

[Weimarunner]

Hi, is there a one stop shop that everyone uses for materials / components for a conversion?
thanks

The one that I used was Magnums at Grimsby which stocks most things and if you ask nicely they will give you 5% discount. They also do mail order as well via there Web page.

As above ,magnums and the one I used for a lot of stuff was CAN tanks.. and o'leary''s.
Ships chandlers can throw up some good quality gear for self builders as well.

Agree with the above. Magnums in Grimsby. I would avoid CAK tanks as I had no end of problems with them and shipping parts.
O'leary's I tried to use once and just stood around in the entrance of their shop while the staff all chatted. Eventually got bored and left and drove back to Magnums.
Might be good but didn't get any joy myself.

Hi, thanks everyone. I've just been on the Magnums website and that's just what I was after. Thanks again!

Link Removed - for light weight timber.

http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/ - general electrical parts and wire.

www.johnscross.co.uk - for an awning.

http://www.bowerspartsonline.co.uk/ - for an Eberspacher (or Webasto) kit, also good after sales service.

From that list I guess you will gather there is no 'one stop shop' that comes out good on price, availability and cost.

I have been using Rainbow for several years.. Mainly because they are the closest to me and I can drive over and collect my stuff.
Their stock levels are VERY impressive !

magnums will discount if you buying a substantial part of your build with them also great with advice worth going to them at least once as they often have half built vans you can look at look at my links on sigs below for some helpfull photos etc
