It's probably a good idea to order any parts for anything you need before the lock down to essential services.

I know that Bratton's is doing ok right now. They are open to place orders but no walk-in's.

Ordered parts from Snyder's last week. They had all 20+ parts I needed and I got the order is the usual three days.

The other problem is the cancellation of swap meets all over the country. I was really charged up for the weather to warm and the swaps to commence, but now that has been put on hold.

I ordered from Bratton's, too. 2nd day delivery, but I live in MD. I was pleased that shipping was only $7.99 rather than the flat rate price provided. I just had carb parts, so they fit in an envelope rather than a box.

Consider this, the part you want is made by someone, they go fishing and don't answer the phone, Other folks got the few that are on the shelf then you call, then you call around. This happens more if someone likes to fish!
