I agree on the availability but the quality can be a worry when the items supplied are what our insurer calls 'at risk' items-particularly braking and steering spares.
If an accident occurs (heaven forbid)- the possible blame could be placed on faulty items which we as a Club are responsible for supplying.
When a new spare part is fitted by an experienced club-member many manufacturing problems can be overcome but often the fitting is by a member who is not well versed in the engineering requirements and problems can occur.
Not sure what the UK requirements are but here our insurer requires us to take great care in supply of 'at risk' items. We only sell to our club members- it would be much more of a problem it we supplied the general public.
