Buying parts from C&R directly

Does C&R sell direct? All I see is a phone #.

Thanks for any help.

FYI,

C&R's markup to the racer is ridiculous. Deal with Jerry Bickel or RJ.

I'm sure that they use a pricing structure to discourage selling direct. This way, they can primarily sell to large speed warehouses, chassis builders, etc.

Jim,
That may be, but I stated to the sales person that I am a racer. I stated that Jerry Bickel and RJ sold the part for $150. C&R was firm on $175 without shipping. The salesman said they sell direct to the public. Just passing on info to others. This is for the fabricated check valve that they make.
