Dear Gord,
If Charles can't help I should be able to help you with most of the parts you mention (although I am located in the UK).
Regards,
Pierre

Hi Again Charles,   Would you the following P5 3Litre parts by any chance? Perhaps they cross over to Land Rover?
(4) 542726 tie rod ends 
(2) 545923 radius rod rear bushings
(2) 266722 sway bar bushings(1) 217507 pinion oil seal(2) rear engine mount (I am crawling under the car later today to confirm which ones then checking in my Rover parts catalogue for the number)
I need a rad hose set but will likely go to the local jobber and see what I can put together.

Cheers,Gord

Hi Charles,   That Rover 3500/5speed sounds awesome  but I will stick with the 3Litre for now (the TVR Vixen 2500 would love it as well but keeping it stock). I will let you when I need parts, no turn signal/high beam flash by any chance?   Climax Coventry Featherweight? Wow!   I live in Langley B.C., I might drop by next time I am passing through.Cheers,Gord

Boot lid, fuel tank, dash with most instruments and switches are the bits that come to mind. If you have specific needs please let me know.  
Aside note: I have a very nice fully-dressed 3.5-litre Rover engine with bellhousing adaptor and LT77, 5-speed gearbox. This of course would fit either a P5 or a P6. 
NOT RELATED but quite interesting are a pair of COVENTRY CLIMAX FEATHERWEIGHT engines (1,020 CC), 1 with twin WEBER 40 DCOEs, the other with a single SU upstream of an EATON supercharger (Not turbo!!) Both come complete with an alloy-case 6-speed gearbox.....suited to LOTUS Super 7 or equivalent.

Thank you for your enquiry for our parts and services. We offer the highest-quality spare parts for the vintage Land -Rover. Our staff is minuscule while the demand for rare and “unobtainable” parts for early Land-Rovers is relentless. While your concern is important to us, our ability to respond to each and every enquiry may be limited and stocks of many items are critically low.. We are primarily a restoration-based enterprise but when we have a surplus of a given  item, we are able to offer excess stocks to our dedicated clients. If your need is urgent, we encourage you to contact us by phone, in person. Leaving a message is rarely effective, so we recommend direct contact. With many buildings full of parts, it is not always easy to locate obscure items, and the process is often time consuming. We hope you understand. Please provide complete details of your exact model including year, wheelbase, which side drive, engine, Country of origin, etc. When giving part numbers, please also state the catalogue number (typically found on the front cover).  We appreciate your understanding and will do all we can to help.

Thanks for sharing guys, the shifting is still pretty long reach but the
ride and comfort is excellent, it might be going to Santa Rosa/San Jose,
California next year. Do you have non-ethanol there David. I have been
driving my friend's diesel VW and truck and I find I tend to drive the P5
the same way, less power but lots of torque. I can roll up a hill in 3rd no
problem and start in 2nd quite often. The 3 litre is solid so we will see
how it lasts, if it fails maybe an electric conversion would be in order.
Nobody knows what it is here in B.C. as well but it gets the comments.
Which Studebaker do you have Roland?
