March 13, 201214 yr Just aquired a cota 242 which i'm thinking about doing up and was wondering about parts availability. Where is the best place in the UK, buying from abroad is too expensive postage wise, for old Montesa bits? or will i just be better to not bother and break it? Just wondering cos the grapevine says that parts are nigh on impossible to find which is why Montesa's never seem to fetch much money.
March 13, 201214 yr In my experience with 247 parts, Inmotiontrials have been the best UK supplier so far. I have also ordered bits through Vallmoto in Spain, who don't charge postage above a certain value. Having said that, the parts that I ordered from them haven't arrived yet, so best I reserve praise for now. Other than that I end up checking eBay every day
March 13, 201214 yr Hi Chris , was looking at the Vallmoto in Spain website and was going to order a few parts myself, Can you let us know how long they take to get to you and quality of the parts . Cheers Scorpa250
March 15, 201214 yr Hi Chris , was looking at the Vallmoto in Spain website and was going to order a few parts myself, Can you let us know how long they take to get to you and quality of the parts . Cheers Scorpa250 I ordered on the 1st and they were apparently dispatched on 13th. Not the fastest service, but hopefully they should be with me soon. I have ordered a mixture of small bits (nuts, bolts, springs etc.) as well as a couple of shiny repro parts, and a pair of NOS fork legs that were expensive, but that I have not seen anywhere else. I will report back once they turn up. ETA All the parts turned up and I am very happy with what I got. Personally, I now have no hesitation in using Vallmoto again.
