more sources, the better

Good to hear feedback about customer service. I'm betting BRD gets alot of questions for the amount of sales.
and then there's always TOYOTA!
Genuine part numbers can be looked up on
http://www.toyodiy.com if you don't have your own pirate EPC. Sometimes toyota may struggle to identify the part you require over the phone, but if given a part number it's usually pretty quick to say if it's available, been superceeded or discontinued.

The ACL EC993 conversion set for 3T in particular for lower gaskets (sump, crank seals) since the 2tgeu specific sets are harder to source off the shelf and usually dearer.
http://catalog.acl.com.au/ACLWebCatalog ... e=0&pg=allACL lists 2tgeu but I don't believe the full set is available anymore??

Also, speaking on behalf of myself, im sure your honest and everything, but if i were sinking a grand+ into rebuild/upgrade parts, i'd want to buy direct from a reputable business since I live far far away. its just too risky otherwise. im sure you'd understand this viewpoint?
nice to have the option there!
