I get lots of my detailing supplies from Scale Dreams. Rick has flocking, ignition wire, wire looms and other PE items, glue, wheels/tires, and all kinds of great stuff. I've heard some people buy Martha Stewart flocking at Michaels or Hobby Lobby - I never have. Some people buy the pre-wired distributors from Chris Morgan (?) but I use aluminum tubing to make my own or drill out a kit distributor.

I've tried making throttle linkage but just can't my hands to follow my brain with the teeny little parts.

Check some of the other posts and links to suppliers here on the forum. Purchase/subscribe to MCM and look at the suppliers in the mag.

If you are going to go aftermarket suppliers, Rick at ScaleDreams is a great guy to deal with (if you see him at a show) or his site is quick, fast, painless, and well-stocked.

As for carpet Flocking, check out Craft stores like Micheals and Hobby Lobby; and if you have a wife that is into scrapbooking, go with her to a scrapbook store and be ready to spend some money. You may think you look like weaksauce-whipped going with your girl into one of these stores, but your modeling supply stash will be pumped-up manly after a visit!
