For used parts try "Vintage Saab Life Support" (I believe they are a sponsor on this site) I've never used them, but I hear they are great place to start if you are looking for the odd trim or interior piece.
For new parts like weatherstrip, carbs, Hi performance, and just about all the metal stamped sheets you need to build a new sonett use Jack Ashcraft. He was and is what I call the "grandfather of Sonetts". He's a great guy and will give you all the pointers you need. He also has some used Sonett parts (although less than he used to since he moved his shop). He also has the BEST wiring diagrams and manuals for our Sonetts (he was the publisher of 'The Saab Journal' for many years)
Jack's site: http://pages.prodigy.net/jackashcraft/
Then there's Chip Lamb at West of Sweden. He specializes in the 95's and 96's (and 2 strokes) but definitely a great source for V4 engine parts, brakes, carbs, etc...
Chip's site is: http://www.wmsbrg.com
Then there is Motor Sport Service (run by Jack Lawrence) for HIGH PERFORMANCE Sonett parts. He doesn't have a web site but his contact info is:
Motor Sport Service
1400 East 2nd Avenue
Jamestown, NY 14701
Tel (716) 665-4200
For some really cool and hard to find stuff, there's Mats Jonnsen at "Motorsport Sweden" (in Sweden). He has some stuff that the other folks here in the states just dont have.
Mats Website:

For some more common items, I use "http://www.TheSaabSite.com". They have some V4 brake parts, Engine gasket sets, etc...
That should get you started. That's most of the main ones that I know of and use. My '69 Sonett V4 is probably 85% restored through the use of these contacts.
I have listed many contacts here, and I am not affiliated with ANY of them. Hopefully this email will be seen as an unbiased list of contact sources for our difficult to restore beauties...
Hope this info helps you and others keep these rare beauties on the road.
