Your first stop is the newsstand to get a copy of Hemmings Motor News. From there, you can make calls or send e-mails to listed vendors, who can then spin you off to other spare parts universes.
 
Have faith, you can get just about any part for any car, and the parts you can't get, you can have made. Of course, if it's some obscure car from the 20s, you aren't going to find much, but many of these older cars were "assembled" from standard parts, and substitutions are possible.
 
The best aftermarkets are for Ford Model As and Ts, for Chevy/Ford/GMC post WWII pickups, for VW, for GM muscle cars, for MG and for Alfa Romeo. There's very little you can't find for these types of cars, shipped right to your door UPS second day.

That's gonna hurt a lot of those parts hoarders who so much enjoy making people beg for their spare parts. The power tripping will soon be over!

Probably you'll need to scour UK websites for that stuff.

#11 of 17 Hello, Find Parts Here? by hotrodguy

So I know the time and trouble one can go thru finding parts these days. From experience if your determined you will find the part you need. For example I must have called 15 vendors/companies looking for the exact parts i wanted for my '34 Ford. So 2 sites that have helped me out on builds is 1)
Vintage Parts, these guys have solid axle kits for '28-'48 Fords and much much more. Then for more of the hot rod items I recently stumbled across this site, 2) Street Rod Parts. The quality of the product I would say is around a B+. Welds on the axle kit look rough but overall and for the price, definitely worth it.
