Renault engine parts, just contact Salv Sacco to make life simple.

For Renault engine parts, just contact Salv Sacco to make life simpler.
The major Europa parts companies just do not seem to be interested in supporting the Renault engines, only TC's.

I have only been able to order a single item from France.
The language barrier is real even with translation app's and they are slow to respond.
Even the guys in Canada are difficult as their website is terrible.

Salv is very responsive and his prices are good.
I am getting Max Speeding rods from Salv cheaper than from the US distributor.
It may be a wash by the time shipping and duty are paid but I will be certain to get the correct parts.
Salv is also familiar with the TS (Gordini/Cross-Flow) head conversions for those of us that have them.

£ to $ rate is moving upward so sooner is better if you need anything.

You won't have to pay duty on purchases less than $800 in value imported to the US, and shipping from UK isn't really very expensive.  It's just a matter of how much the supplier wants to charge for it.

I got some parts (finned transaxle nuts) from SJSportscars and the total was much cheaper than buying from "Renault16Shop".  Their shipping charges were crazy expensive.

UK Renault engine specialist who has been at it for about thirty-five years.
Invaluable resource for those of us who do not run a Twink.
