Hey there all,
Im new to the forum, I’ve made an introduction post in the relevant section introducing myself and my vehicles.
I did however, want to also share with you all some quite good options for rare spares that I have come across in my hunt to gather supplies for my own 6.9 refurbishment.
Please see attached photos and screenshots of the spares that I have managed to track down.
Most of these rarer spares I have managed to find on the 600 suspension shop (type that into google to find Martin’s website (business owner). This business operates out of the USA and for myself, joining the 6.9 game at such a late stage as now, found it refreshing to see that someone was reverse engineering the rubber valve block boots/insulators and also the ball joints for the bottom of the struts.
The next supplier that I have had a great experience with so far (for HPF spheres) is spareto (www.spareto.com). I believe they may be headquartered in both Italy and distributing out of Estonia.
I managed to get 5x spheres for my 6.9 (3x front and 2x rear (75bar front and 57bar rear). FEBI branded and air freighted from Estonia to Australia no dramas at all (re: dangerous goods). No issues encountered with DHL as the carrier.
Front spheres:
spareto.com
Rear Spheres:

Hoping this helps the community along in their continual efforts to keep their machines in great order.
Spareto also seems to stock smaller items (gaskets and pump reseal kits and alike) at much cheaper prices than other competition. Very much so worthy of adding these items into larger orders to save on overall postage.
cheers
James
