Default Any other porsche wrecking yards in Canada besides Porschapart?

I have a call into porschapart for a rear wheel bearing cover for my 85 911 but if they don't have one I will have to check elsewhere. Only a $12 part but only available via germany and shipping will take too long. Any ideas?? Part looks like this and fits 74-89 911's:

Yep .... Frank E has a small business in Toronto (911 parts and repairs). He never throws anything away. Good guy with fair prices.

Try any of the US places and have them send it via usps.. but it may not be fast enough , you do not state your location so it is tough to know.

If it is in stock, I have received new parts from Pelican by USPS Express in less than 2 weeks.

At one time a few years ago Pelican was not sending USPS to Canada. Have they changed their policy?

I have found porschapart to be extremely expensive. They wanted $180 plus GST plus shipping for a used tail light for a 964. They typically sell for between $75 to $120 US on eBay. Hell...for $50 more, I can buy a brand-new one.

Thanks for the replies guys. The part I am looking for could not be located in the US (new inventory) by pelican parts. They would have to order it direct from Germany.

Skruggs - there is a fellow an hour away from me (saskatoon) that has a parts from a 964 C4 he is selling. I think he told me he has the suspension components as well as a tranny. He has recently posted on Pelican's Canada regional forum. You might want to check it out....
