After ordering a part from The Netherlands for an aftermarket setup on my vw camper I found the part to be too short. Quick google search found me the perfect part through car builder solutions. In stock, great value and delivered to me in 2 days. Can't ask for anymore than that 👍

Product first class, well packed. Would suggest you look at using Royal Mail. It took 7 days to arrive. I should have selected another option. I've experienced poor service with R M on several occasions recently. 1st class post takes 3 days or more to arrive lately.

My wife bought me the Italian Klaxon for Christmas for our narrowboat. Needed a push button for it and this one fitted the bill perfectly. Great piece of kit at a decent price and really rapid delivery. Thank you.

This hose was a perfect replacement for the top rad hose on a vauxhall brava pickup 2.5d prior to 2003 with 32mm stubs, post 2003 the stubs were bigger. While it is about 6cm longer than the oem there is plenty of room for a longer sweep around to fit, if you have a/c you may have issues with it contacting the extra pulley / belt, but it works on mine.

Fast delivery. There was something missing from the package and it was immediately shipped as well. Quality of washer bottle seems good, twice the size of the one I had and this one doesn't leak ;-)

This replaced a mess wired to a battery so it has tidied that up a lot. The clear plastic cover clip didn't have enough flexibility to allow it to be removed easily but it's not going to be removed regularly so it doesn't matter a lot. It's not obvious how the black earth bus cover is supposed to fit. Even my son couldn't work it out. Just a couple of points worth you checking.

Your spare part is perfect. However my big problem was that the stroke of the wiper blades was a little too long and I had to correct the position of the axis on the pinion. Best Regards Georges Pontet

Bought a brake light switch to replace the poor quality Caterham unit. It's affordable, shipment was fast, mounting/adjusting took 10 minutes, it's what you would wish - so much so one wonders why that switch isn't stock.

I would like some information on installation of your panels. I want to use them in my 1075 hillman Imp, which is in process of restoration.. I sent you an email but have not had a reply

Catalog really good as always. I prefer it much better than on line. An example is that I don’t shop at Screwfix any more since they dumped the catalog. I used to flick through it and find stuff I didn’t know I needed. Same with CBS. Good job.

Have used many reels of this tape. Bonds to itself and with care can produce a waterproof joint. Perfect for tidying up cable runs.

Ideal for neat and secure packaging of wiring harnesses to over wrapping the grotty rubber coating on my wife's favourite hair brush! The 12.7 mm shrink tubing comfortably closes down to 8 mm or less. Five star.

Very good quality brake pipe fitting Used it to replace steel fittings which had started to corrode When fitted to copper pipe looked much better than original. Very pleased with outcome.

Great quality fuel shut off valve we used it for an old Jensen via a relay and inertia switch to return hot fuel from the manifold when the car was hot and now starts everytime

I bought these lights for a Ford popular hot rod project not a 356, If only :) I was happy with the product , The quality is very good for reproduction parts . There never going to be 100% Porsche spec if your looking for a 100 point restoration but they are perfect for a decent restoration or replica build. First impression was they the lenses were very much like glass but they are in fact plastic, but good quality moldings. Stainless trim is good with good finish, Reflector backing is chrom...

Stainless steel is a material that will never corrode. The reversing lights enhance the classic car to which they are fitted being period correct. Illumination is to a high standard and the design is compact and non invasive.

Remember taping up bundles of loose wires which still looked just as tatty? Heat shrink in various sizes gives a tidy professional finish. Hundreds of uses on cars, motorcycles, the garage, in the house. I even used the largest version with built in adhesive to fabricate (a no longer available) demister duct for my old Alfa.

Always like to have a hard copy catalogue to browse through,there is so much stuff to look at and gives you more ideas on solutions to problems or just that hard to find part.

I mistakenly thought a .625" would be adequate on a Omega CSC conversion in the Daimler, but it was not just quite right. This one works and as usual rapid delivery. Cheers guys (and Gals).

Thanks for asking, both jobs installing the indicator speaker were quite easy ., one fitted in Vauxhall velox one in Daimler. Stag ok I think... need to check. But yes, exactly what I was looking for and fast dispatch thanks. Hopefully no more nagging comments, 'your indicators are still on '

Well CBS don’t “ hang” around. Within 36 hrs of ordering the hangers are on the car.. Don’t get better than that. Superb service with quality items. Oh, did I mention… There quite nice people to talk to. 👍

Exhaust Hanger

James S.Verified

Works well, seems to be sealed well even when fitted to a curved tank. The float is up in the off position, it drops down to horizontal to complete the curcuit. This is the oposite to what I had expected, but doesn't make a difference in my application.

Customer photo review of Gold Reflective Insulation Per Square Metre

Garreth N.Verified

The adhesive is really great on this gold heat barrier. The only slight down side is it comes with creases already present in the roll from manufacture I presume and there’s no way of getting them out.

Bought for our narrowboat. Other boats will certainly hear us approaching....it's amazingly loud. Just the job! Really substantial and extremely well made. There are cheaper versions out there but I sincerely doubt they will be able to touch this in terms of all round quality.

Handy little bleed point makes filling the cooling system so easy, no releasing hoses with the associated mess to assist in getting the air out, install this valve at the highest point just twist the screw until coolant appears resecure job done

Added these items - On / Off Identification Plate For Toggle Switches to the Chrome Heavy Duty Chrome Toggle Switch On-Off that I also purchased from Car Builders Solutions. These are easy to install and look great with the switches. Certainly value for money.

The catalogue seems a lot bigger than back in 2010 when I built my Caterham 7. I do have something in mind but it will take me a time to decide exactly what to do.
