    Good parts websites besides delorean.com

    I am currently looking for a few parts for my delorean

    reverse switch
    shift boot (grey interior)
    interior headliner
    lug nuts
    center caps

    I'm sure there are a few other things I've forgotten

    Are there any other websites you may recommend besides delorean.com for these parts?

    I may also need to buy a new set of tires for my car, the current set has flat spots from sitting for 15 years. Does anyone have any recommendations for tire companies that sell something as close to the originals as possible?

    PJ Grady will have all of these things, although you will have to call to get them.

    You can also try DeLorean Industries (aka DPI), but as is the case with PJ Grady not everything is listed on the website and you may be better off calling and talking to a person.

    http://www.deloreanindustries.com/

    Tires have been covered pretty extensively in other threads. There are currently no matching sets of tires front (195/60R14) and rear (235/60R15) of the same brand/tread pattern in stock sizes. Although you can get matched tires with the stock front size and 225/60R15's for the rear (slightly narrower).

    This thread is a few years old but worth checking out.

    Here's the ones I'm aware of. Not for your specific parts list though, just DeLorean parts in general. DeLorean parts specifically though, not AutoZone, Canadian Tire, etc.

    DMC Houston (main inventory for franchises as well)

    DeLorean Performance Industries

    PJ Grady

    DeLorean Parts Northwest (separate from the DMCNW franchise online store/Houston)

    DeLorean Club UK

    SpecialT Auto (John Hervey)

    DeLorean Europe

    If I'm missing some, please feel free to add them.

    And with any vendor, so some research if possible around the parts you are looking for. Some vendors may have a variation on a particular part others don't that you might want. Probably doesn't apply to the list you've provided.

    Also, there is plenty of information on this site advocating for and warning against certain vendors for certain parts. Should be easy to find by searching.

    Check your local fabric store for headliner. The ones here in San Diego carry a nice actual fabric labeled as automotive headliner which looks great! Then follow the directions on this site to replace yours...granted your boards are still intact!

    Buying the headliner fabric local will probably be cheaper to avoid shipping a large roll of fabric.

    If you're not comfortable recovering your own headliner auto upholstery shops do this service for a pretty reasonable price. If you go this route you'll have to either bring your car in since sections of the headliner are glued to the actual fiberglass body tube or you can have them leave additional fabric hanging off the front so you can glue it yourself. You can supply your own material or they will probably have something that closely matches.

    One other note on the headliner color...the originals were a very light gray, and some people choose to go to a darker blue/gray to match the rest of the interior better.

    Why not put everything out there in the vendor's inventories? How hard would it be to give out a list with prices? Color me lazy but I do a lot of research online before approaching a vendor so if I don't like a price or quality is not there or do not mesh with the vendor, no hard feelings?

    Just a thought.
