Easiest to phone the stealers in the morning?

I managed to get a set late last year but was informed that they were one of the last sets in the country. I tried every stealer in the North West to no avail.
In the end, i rang TPS in Manchester who tried to order me a set from Germany but was promptly informed they were no longer made.
the guy at TPs checked his computer and tracked down a set at a stealers in Devon.
I rang them up and got them to send them out to me:

If i remember correctly, he gave me 3 dealers who had stock - when i rang up, only the one in Devon had a set in. I think the TPS guys said there were a set at a dealers in Scotland. Defo ring your local TPS to check.

When you manage to track a set down, it may be worth asking the parts guy to throw in the stud fitting attatchments? you might get a freebie as they are only a few pence i reckon.

Hope this helps

Stu,

The edition 30 mats are hard to get hold of i believe - i tried for mine.. You can just enquire with your local TPS - they can run a nationwide search at all the stealers to see who has stock.

Don't you like commas and full stops stu ?

Nope they are more hassle than worth especially when using a phone to post
