Try Mr Spares in Smithfield. They have helped me out heaps of times before.

Yep Mr Spares would be the first place Id go, they bought out the old Bouncer 4x4 wreckers a few years ago, they are very helpful.
If they cant help you, then theres also East Coast 4x4 and a few other big ones around the Revesby area.
Theres another one out at Silverdale, near Warragamba, that have alot of different models too.
Good luck

Ive used All Model 4X4 spares at Revesby a few times, prices are reasonable, and they usually have what I need

central coast 4wd wreckers are pretty good , usually have most stuff and courier it down cheaper than most wreckers in sydney for us .

Central Coast 4x4 wreckers will charge an arm and a leg for most things.

And who you talk to.

If it were me, Id go to Mr Spares, I used to go to Bouncer for just about everything, they were very helpful and looked after their customers.
When Mr Spares took over from them, I started going there. They are just as good as Bouncer in my opion.
If not Mr Spares, then go to one of the many in the Revesby area.

East Coast were good to deal with the one time I went there.

the one and only time i will use mr spares (bouncer spares) ,
i rang them for a door for my hilux,
they told me they had plenty of doors for my hilux
he ask what colour is yor lux , i said white
he said i have mostly white doors, come and take your pick.
so i said i'll come on saturday.
so i took a saturday off work to drive down from the coast
and when i got there they had no doors for my hilux :bad-words:
i will never go there again.

I've used Mr Spares in Smithfield as my first choice for the past few years and haven't had a problem with their service.
I also found East Coast in Chipping Norton pretty good but they seem to do more mechanical work and engine rebuilding lately.
Other than that I end up going through the yellow pages when I try to find odd parts.
