Are there any stations that trade in Improvised Componets?

those are materials for engineering You cannot buy those but You can trade em at material traders

Yep They are a Material not a Commercial trade items... missons might pay out, exploded ships may drop them but markets dont..
Improvised components are a pain to find from HGEs, since you need to find an independent system in civil unrest. Thankfully they're used for a reasonably short list of blueprints, reinforced shields being the main one, which you'll only need one set per ship as opposed to the stuff you'll need for shield boosters and weapon blueprints.
I'd just hit up imperial space and fill up on imperial shielding and trade it, or else get rid of some of the stockpile of biotech conductors that mission-givers always seem to be offering and I never use.

It's a pity you can't just get yourself some perfectly normal components and... I don't know, improvise something with them yourself?
Kind of like when you walk into the Engineer's workshop with a bagful of regular focus crystals, but the Engineer wants flawed ones. You want them with flaws? Sure, no problem, just give me a sec...
{whacks bag a few times against the Engineer's workbench}
There you go. Plenty of flaws in them now. Oh, you want crystal shards now too? Sure, no worries mate. Can I borrow your hammer?

And done.

My GENERAL go-to is to hit up as much G5 stuff as possible, just in a relaxed general sense, and then trade it sideways or down when I actually need it. If you're half AFK with a bunch of limpets, supercruise assist, and you just putter around with other stuff going on, it's pretty easy.
Don't listen to them. The Improvised Components store is down the space lane on the left.

HGEs in independent space, in civil unrest, with the HGE labelled as "civil unrest", which is owned by an independent faction, with enough time on the clock, will sometimes yield improvised components.
Only a few layers of RNG to battle through. No problem!

Diaguandri is actually a good one. Decent population spawns a decent amount of HGEs, not toooooo bad for supercruise distances to USSs, and there's a reasonably decent population of
