Customer photo review of Quick Connectors 3 Way 25 Amp
David R.Verified
Much easier to use than the barrier strip connectors as you can be sure the wire itself has been gripped. They are more bulky though..

i had some older push pull choke cable, but they wouldnt work much, so better to buy new, although i trimmed to much shorter length, it now works perfect, as it was in a tight space. thank you again

Needed some new steering rack gaiters for my power steering TVR Chimaera and have had problems with previous gaiters being too small to fit over the 58mm diameter rack ends without a big struggle. So when I discovered that Car Builder Solutions - who I've always had great service from - sold universal gaiters with a 60 mm large end I didn't hesitate to order a pair. Excellent service from Car Builder Solutions as usual with the parts arriving in a couple of days, and once the gaiters had been ...

We had a vehicle in our workshop which required replacement rear flexi hoses, these were found to be NLA from Lexus and also NLA aftermarket! We ordered various unions and braided flexi hose and made our own to match the OEM ones.We have to say the speed of deliver and quality of parts supplied was fantastic (As per usual i will add!). Making new hoses was a breeze and with tutorial videos available from website you can't really go wrong! We highly recommend anyone who requires a brake hose that...

First class advice given over the phone, given my limited knowledge of what was needed. When it turned out that what I had bought was not quite correct for what I needed they immediately exchanged it for something more suitable.

Great remote thermometer. Had fun playing with it when first arrived-seeing how hot my kettle got etc but main reason for getting it was to check the temperature of my brakes after a spirited drive and try and track down an issue. Works great and easy to use and seems accurate enough. Very pleased with my purchase.

Product was good quality and the service could not be faulted but fitting them to mu Morgan Plus 8 was a nightmare. The 10 minute job I expected took me most of the day by the time I had removed spot lamps and indicator covers just to get the pesky screws done up. Still, they look a great improvement on the 25 year old rust pitted ones that I took off.

Bought to replace some Jokon ones on my motorhome, one of the chrome bezels had come off and not listed as a replacement part in Jokon catalogue and only sell complete lights in packs of 10, also bought the fog/reversing lights as wanted fog and reversing lights on both sides. Perfect fit and even the screw holes line up.

My 07 Discovery D3 was destined for the scrap heap due to a burst rear brake pipe and failing the MOT .To fix it the body needed to come off! The cost of that alone was more than the car is worth. I came across your system and have used it to re route the pipes front and back. It goes for the MOT next week. Let’s hope it passes. All in all the system is easy to use but m sceptical about connections blowing off. Time will tell.

This company made a picking mistake and sent me the wrong part. However, they responded professionally and quickly corrected the issue. Most impressed with their customer service. Nice job guys.

Great catalogue, having all the wonderful and useful products in printed form is so much better than online. Online I search for things I need, on paper I find things I did not know I needed but now do.

Arrived right on time. Well packaged. Replaced a cheaper klaxon which had failed after two years. This one is VERY LOUD and by its weight and sound is of a much higher quality.

The items purchased were used to assemble brake hoses for my old sports car, I found the process quite straightforward and rewarding. I would also like to mention the fact that having spent some time checking prices for brake hose parts this company definitely rates as possibly the most competitive.

The precision cut of the splines is far superior to those I have received from two big name suppliers of rack and pinion steering conversions. Well done, Carbuilder team! J.W. Texas, USA

I bought this because the radio antenna on my van was a bee sting type, which was useless and could hardly get any radio stations. Since fitting this new one I have not had any trouble getting stations. Excellent value for money, well worth buying. Carbuilder made ordering so easy and the dispatch time was excellent. Highly recommend

These wiper blades are very simple and were to replace the 15 year old blades on my Caterham 7 . The best thing about these wipers is that they were longer than the original wipers supplied by Caterham. They will clear more of the windscreen when it rains and that will be a very good thing.

I work at an aviation museum in Scotland called Moravia,I got two copies of your catalogue 1 for our electricians and one for us fitters,your prices compare very well with anyone else, we will definitely be ordering some stuff to help us with our restorations,the electricians light up the cockpits to bring them to life so your electrical section will be very useful, and us fitters are always needing tools nuts and bolts and rivets etc

I was a little sceptical before purchase, as I had previously bought a cheap imported tool which was hopeless. This tool however was delivered the next day, looked and felt a solid, quality item. I had watched your excellent video online so this, combined with the excellent paper instructions contained made the first time (for me) for flaring brake pipes a lot easier. The tool was excellent, made excellent flares consistently. Overall, very, very good item (made in Great Britain), very pleased ...

As a long-standing customer, I have bought many items to update my kit car and prepare it for a MOT test. This busbar electrical connector has finally tidied up the "snake's nest" of electric cables hiding under my dashboard. It is just the right size for the job and is made of high quality materials - all at a good price!!!

Great service. Exactly what I wanted. It's not on an automobile, but mounted on a 'Ta-Dah' walking stick/seat. Just the job for getting ( slowly ) from Knicker Brook to the paddock at Oulton Park.

Customer photo review of Roll Cage Mirror 38mm
Paul M.Verified
The mirror looks good & looking forward to using it on track. Due to the larger diameter and position of my front roll bar the mirror required the brackets modifying with a power file to increase the diameter plus the fabrication of some extension brackets, (these still need painting).

These round clear vision ventilation windows/panels have excellent optical clarity. They were a direct replacement in an aircraft. Probably best not to try and fit these in the middle of winter otherwise breakage could occur. Best warmed in some 50/60 centigrade water before fitting or a nice hot day. Brilliant replacement at a very good price. They rotate to either push air in or suck air out and close completely. Well wrapped in tissue to prevent scratching. Brilliant.

I vaguely knew the sort of part I needed to complete a modification on my Gilbern Invader. A quick search in the CBS Catalogue identified a switch that was the perfect solution. Price was reasonable and service was excellent. Another problem solved! Many thanks CBS,

I bought a new set (3!) for my 1969 series 2 Jaguar e-type and work really well. Classic car wiper performance is often pretty rubbish, but these wiper blades really improve the view out of the windscreen in the rain. Thank you!

i bought these mirrors to fit on my aero cycle cars mg3. Which closely resembles a Morgan 3 wheel sports roadster. Because the body is narrow the existing mirrors only give a good view of my right shoulder,so, a mirror on a longer stem was required. I haven't fitted them yet, but whilst sitting in the car my wife kindly held them in position. Bingo, just the job. Many thanks.
