I've used Bert's, Brattons and Snyders. I like how some tell you if it's a good repro or not. Also you'll run into who has what you need in stock? There are some parts that are different 28-29 or 30-31 - ran into that on the headlight lens retaining springs. Description said 28-31 so I bought them - wire dia is too big to snap into a 29 trim ring. Brattons had the correct 28-29 ones. Also take a look at wiring harnesses some use the wrong bullet ends on the headlight wires. There are also different prices for the same part from different places so shop around.

I'm learning to do my homework first to make sure a part is correctly made and is for my '29.
