Hi All,

I have spent the last 6 months building a labor of love e-commerce page to replace my old one which was becoming sort of a dinosaur. In the last couple of years I could not even load a product image. I consider this store to be way more than a shopping experience and more like a resource tool. As time allows I am including editorial descriptions on parts I think need more than the typical description but more of a technical one. I try to update this on an almost daily basis. One new thing I added is the SCCA Enterprises part number so if someone is inclined to not purchase from me they can use proper part numbers to buy from their own CSR. That is not to say I do not want your business, I am trying to make this useful for all. Browse around a little and you will find things in categories that can be drilled down to sub sections making it easier to find exactly what you are looking for. In some sections I have a sub category that shows only the hardware used on the parts in that section. I am still working on that feature for some of the sections. You can not only use the categories and sub categories to find something. Try using the powerful search tool.

The checkout and shipping modules are current state of the art allowing you to use your choice of UPS or the Post Office. In many cases the Post Office is cheaper but sometimes not as reliable in tracking and on time delivery. The shipping calculator uses weights and measurements that nest parts together in a box to more accurately estimate shipping cost. I still reserve the right to adjust that cost which should be less in most cases. We will find out in time. The payment gateway I have chosen is PayPal which is super secure and I never see or store your financial information.

There is even a smart phone optimized view of the page which automatically shows up if you log in on your phone. That view can be switched to standard by clicking on something at the bottom of any page and switch back in the same way.

Click on my revised ad in the header of this site to see more.

Enjoy!

I am introducing a Free Shipping coupon to the first 10 users that enter coupon code first_ten_over_500 at checkout for any order over $500.00 that ships by standard ground UPS or USPS.

I will advise here when all ten have been used.

I am gradually migrating my primary web page in over the weekend and expanding content. Please excuse the non responsive links on the home page.

I really like the new site, much more modern.

The new features make it even more handy as a quick parts reference....

That was really nice of you SK. The website traffic made a spike that day and when I looked at failed search keywords 50% was at the top of the list. I should have thought of that!

On another note myself and most of the other CSRs should have sufficient supplies of fuel pump kits now to service your needs. That has been the most viewed item in the store so I expect it will be quite popular.
