Best place to source keggle parts?

So I've got a few kegs lined up and was planning on converting them into keggles, however all the stores that sell fittings online seem to be from the US. Does anyone know of a Canadian source for these fittings (valve, sight glass, thermometer, false bottom, etc) and if not, where would you order them from otherwise?

If you find some stuff on Brewmaster's Warehouse in the next few days, I can pick them up for you, I'm down here now.

For valves and tubing, I've gone to TTL (I hope that's the right name) in Burnside, or Wolseley (also in Bside).

What about propane burners? Anyone have any suggestions on where to source them locally?

Walmart, Kent or Home Depot. You may even find a deal at this time of year, since they consider that stuff 'seasonal'

I was hoping to pick up just the burner heads to mount to a single tier stand I am getting fabbed. Something along the lines of one of the bayou burner would be ideal.

if it's just the burner head you want you might want to try Princess Auto too, they may have just the head over there.

I've gone away form sight glasses. They are a pain in the ass. What I use now is a graduated dipstick. Works like a charm.

Great, I just ordered 3 sight glasses from bargainfittings.com. Haha, oh well I will install them anyway

I also ordered a couple ball valves and a bunch of 1/2" cam locks for hose/valve ends.

Anyone have a suggestion for a pump for a brew rig? I know the march 809 seems popular but again, prefer buying local if possible.

I think the march is the only way to go myself. I bought one from the states here:

It was a very good price as far as I was concerned.
