Subj: Re: [Healeys] Getting decent quality parts
I worked, briefly, at Victoria British, many years ago. At that time, they
offered the customer Lucas parts or the option of less expensive repro parts.
They also offered
MGB fenders from the original tooling or less expensive repro fenders. They
even had a note in the catalog that indicated the less expensive fenders
might need more work to get them to fit. Sales of the more expensive parts
were
almost non-existent. The complaints about the fenders were so numerous &
costly to VB that they actually stopped selling them & only offered the better
part. I don't know if that is still true today.
I am often amazed at how often a reply to a question on this list is not
directed to the to the original question, but "how to do it cheaper".
