Well, FWIW, my very limited experience with Bus Depot is that they are very
friendly; however I now tend to double-check before placing an order. I was
recently looking for a replacement gas tank here at the list and got a pm from
the Bus Depot, telling me he had them for a nice price. I called them the
next day, talked to someone other than Ron and they neither had the tank in
stock nor could give me a better delivery date than "approx. two months or so,
if at all".

GoWesty shipped it within 24 hours for roughly the same price. Maybe I just
understood wrongly "we have it" when they maybe meant "we might be able at
some time in the future to get one" due to my limited command of the English
language.... I will most certainly call on them again if I need parts, but
will not order without a fixed "latest delivery" date.

BTW, since PartsPlace is pretty much next door to us I have been buying
small parts from them as well; I am somewhat careful based on some concerns
expressed here, but so far have yet to be disappointed with parts, service or
friendlyness.
Cheers, have a good weekend everyone
Chris
