Question

Not strictly Scooby related but does anybody know of a supplier who stocks Simpson Helmets in the UK?
A few places have offered to order me one but I want to see and try before buying.

Apologies for not putting this in the "non related" section but I thought I might get a wider audience here.

Simon

Ripspeed of old did. I believe they are now part of Kwik Fit or someone similar & do mail order.

M&P and/or MPS do them as well (mail order bike parts suppliers). M&P is in Wales.

Sorry haven't got urls/tel no.s to hand. Should be easy to locate tho'...

M&P just sell Simpson lookalike lids under the name of Craft.
I'm pretty sure that MPS don't do them either although I have not seen their catalogue for a while.
Neither company list helmets on their websites.
I was expecting to have to go to a motorsport supplier as most of the Simpson range is not aimed at bikers.

Thanks anyway

Simon

Cissbury leathers in Findon near Worthing (sussex) sell simpson helmets, though these are of the bike variety, being stockists they might be able to get car ones or give you the name of the uk dist who could help.

Also that car spares shop near brands hatch used to sell them. havent been there for a few years tho.

I had forgotten all about that place by Brands; I haven't been there for years.
Drew a blank with Cissbury Leathers who no longer stock Simpson gear and were no help with the supplier.

Thanks for the suggestions

Simon
