I got mine from British Wire Wheel after Bruce E. sold but before they
went tango uniform, on the assumption they would sell a credible product.
To Moss's credit, they do at least try to sell a decent product, and
correct issues if they can. Michael Grant, their technical support guru
last I checked, is a Big Healey owner and makes a concerted effort to
get as good quality as he can. But, if all they can get is crappy
Chinese rubber parts, for instance, they either sell them or we have to
do without altogether.
NFI (but did visit their shop once).
