Parts Suppliers

[roadranger]

What ever happened to all of the Tamiya parts suppliers of 6-7 years ago?
Back then you could find a source for any Tamiya stock kit part for tractors and trailers to use on kit-bashing projects. Things like frame rails, stock wheels/tires, axles, suspensions, body parts, etc. Nowadays there's nothing out there except expensive aftermarket custom parts.

On that note, is there ANYone out there with a complete stock Tamiya rear tandem axle suspension they'd like to sell? I'd like to build a tandem axle converter dolly… but can't find the suspension parts anywhere.
