spares, parts and components

No need to qualify the answer as AmE as spares for spare parts - to avoid the parts double-up - is international, whether generally or in motor / automotive, marine or aero-engineering / avionics, as in my Flight Magazine sub.

Otherwise, components is preferable to 'pieces'.
Example sentence:

USA: Aircraft parts Arizona, parts & Spares, aviation parts professionals Phoenix, aircraft components

disagree Adrian MM. : There are three words. 'Every word in the original needs (to) be accounted for', as per the late Prof. Peter Newmark. Otherwise, a logical fallacy - bordering as usual on professional negligence - that original fittings can be classed as spare parts-
