Am I reading the header on their home page correct .... We no longer ship outside of the USA ??
 
I saw that too - that would be a huge shame.

I’ve had a few bits from them, and quality is first class!
 
I'm lucky to live in the US, so the announcement doesn't affect me. Old Britts (two "t"s) is my go-to place for thousands of dollars of parts. It helps to have someone who races talk with you about what's important and what's not, backed up by prompt, courteous and accurate parts supply. I feel bad for the folks who may have been cut-off.
 
There is Walridge in Ontario, Brit Cycle in NS, and all kinds of suppliers in the UK.

We'll keep em going.

Your probably correct... but certainly us folk who don't have a credit account with them, have to have Debit or CC payments cleared before they process the orders?
 
If not scammers, probably got tired of whiners... people complaning about the ‘land cost’ of parts sent, ie shipping costs, import duty and handling charges.

It’s nothing to do with the vendor of course, but some folk still whine about it.
 
just frigging annoying... appreciate you can get most bits from all over, but the part I specifically want I can only find they produce.
 
Should be a work around for Old Britts new shipping policy .... most must have friends living in USA ...use your imagination....
 
I'm pretty sure I saw a notice on their web page that Fred and Ella are scaling back operations and are looking to retire. They have been a wonderful resource for me over the years and they'd be missed if Old Britts no longer existed.
 
What part is it that you are wanting?

I have e-mailed them to see if they will oblige me....
I'm after crank main bearing shim kit 06.7569A. These mount against the outer track of the bearings, where AN, Norvil, RGM sit behind the inner track.

If they won't, PM me. I'll be over in the UK late August, early Sept and I could bring it over and Royal Mail it the last mile to you.
