    You can try The Roadster Factory in Armagh Pa, they mainly do Triumph and MG parts but have lots of SU stuff.

    Minimal-motoring.com do quite well on prices if they have it in stock.

    Seven Enterprises ( Classic Mini Cooper parts and services since 1974 ), Minimania.com, and GBcarparts.com are also big classic mini spares sources. Moss Motoring also do parts, especially any that overlap with spridgets and other British classics.

    Seven Enterprises is good as I've gotten many parts from them. I avoid mania as every part I got from them didn't fit right, or didn't work.
    Mini Sport out of the UK has good stuff too.

    Your other post said you live in the Midlands. If you're in the UK, then you're spoilt for choice compared to us poor SOBs over here in the States.

    A better list for you would probably start with MiniSport.com, followed by Minispares.com, and Huddersfield spares ( minispares-online.co.uk ).

    You're practically on top of one of the best a-series performance builders in the world,
    MED Engineering

    You might find more local knowledge on a closer based site ( The Mini Forum - Your online guide to everything Mini ), but please stick around here as well, since we all love to hear about minis, no matter where they tread...

    If in the UK, contact Mini Sport or Mini Spares. Moss is not your best choice IMO...

    Why Not try a Reece Fish Carb 3 times the performance of an SU.

    A friend of mine has SU carbs in his Datsun 510. I suggest you check out other vintage cars that might use SU carburetors.
