Where to order non-MMI parts? Canadians?

I have just rebuilt my fuel pump after ordering the kit from Moyer. After reading some more forums I'd like to add a fuel pressure gauge and polishing filter. Here's the problem - I can't find any parts!

I am in Collingwood, Ontario

I have tried:
Local Ideal Supply/Napa
Local Carquest
Local Canadian Tire
Local Hose Supply Company
Local Marine Supply stores (4 of them!)
Marine Outfitters
Binnacle

I did find a couple items on amazon.ca but it's not exactly what I want.

I'd like to find a 0-15 psi liquid-filled gauge like the JEGS one here:
https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performa...41010/10002/-1

I'd also like to find a polishing filter like the Hasting 1/4" one here:
http://catalog.hastingsfilter.com/Pa...partnumber=GF1

So, my question is, are there any Canadians that have a good online source for non-MMI parts?

After the sticker shock of the exchange, shipping, and duty of my last MMI order, I'd really rather not order from the states!

Cheers,
Trevor

Trevor, I found the liquid gauge to be a pain and unreliable. I went back to the $15 (US) Mr. Gasket brand.

If you are having your parts shipped to Canada and choose the United Parcel Service (UPS) as your shipping method, please understand that you will be charged brokerage fees in addition to your shipping and handling charges. These fees can often be substantial and are not controlled by Moyer Marine. For this reason, we recommend that our Canadian customers choose a Priority Mail option as their shipping method (if available) as you check out. If a Priority Mail option is not available, you can place your order over the phone instead by calling (610) 421-4436. Please be aware that even though United Parcel Service (UPS) rates may seem less expensive, the (hidden) brokerage fees will increase the overall cost to you the customer at the time of delivery.

If the issue is just the exchange rate, we can't offer much help there....

Thanks Bill, I did note that before I ordered and did NOT select UPS because of that recommendation. The shipping and duty was still more than I was hoping, but that's the price to pay for MMI parts and I'm fine with it. For the non-MMI parts I listed above, I'm really hoping to find something in Canada to avoid that extra cost.

Thanks,
Trevor

Thanks Greg. Looks like they don't have a website, but if I get desperate, I'll give them a call. Good to have options...
Thanks,

Annual Order

Tkenopic
Cautionary note. I have found several, if not most automotive shops will claim a product they have has the exact same specs as original or MM parts, however I have experienced questionable results.
As a fellow Canadian, I know the pain you feel getting anything purchased, and shipped from south of the border.
To deal with that pain, I just accept the yearly order I place, as a cost of boat ownership. I always add one or two extra parts I may need down the road in a pinch, over and above regular maintenance (coil/impeller/gasket,ect) Not only have I got a reasonable spare parts inventory, I’m ok supporting our Host of this site - and am very appreciative of the support they offer.....but yes, losing 30 cents on the dollar is frustrating.

Cheers
Jimmy

PS - to this day I regret not placing a order for a MM rebuilt , about 7 years ago when the Loonie was flirting with a even exchange rate. I’m waiting for 90cents plus, then I’ll place that call. Of course if MM were to have a Canadian Customer appreciation sale, I could be convinced to pull the trigger sooner

I just tried the Canadian Amazon and found the Hastings filters.

The GF2 (5/16” hose)

Thanks Tac
That's where I ended up getting the gauge and I used Princess Auto for the filter...
