Any good sources for electrical supplies?

Watching you from a ridge. In Alaska. I'm cold.
I'm in the process of doing a re-wire on the suburban, so far I'm looking at West Marine and Aircraft Spruce, plus some small suppliers.

I'm tired of the crap that's stock and doesn't last/corrodes before I get it fastened/falls apart etc. So I'm doing the rewire using marine and aviation components, high quality wire, relocating voltage regulators and relays so they're actually accessible when you have to test them, etc.

Who have you guys found that carries high quality auto/marine/aviation electrical supplies?

I've been very pleased with American AutoWire in the past. They're geared toward muscle cars and hot rods mostly, but I bet they stock a lot of common components that could be used in many different applications.

Most electrical that I do in my rig is done to marine standards. Good sources for marine electrical supplies are west marine, hamilton marine, defender industries. Google searches of each of these will get you what you need.

I've used both del city and waytechwire.com Both have been good about getting orders out and I've yet to need their CS, so no idea about either.

I have also used alliedelec.com, but more for the electronic ends of projects.

Aside from Westmarine, I like the connectors (not just any, I only get the heat shrinkable ones) from McMaster-Carr.
