I have generally been happy with Moss parts but that would be for parts =

Moss. The last order, for overdrive parts, was 5 years ago and the parts =
were of good quality.

I have had two new brake switches from Moss for my MG Midget fail early. =
The switches are not expensive, but removing and replacing one is a =
major pain.
I also bought a new choke cable for my BJ8 Healey. Installing any choke =
cable in the car is also a major pain, but the new one I received from =
Moss was identical to the original --- EXCEPT it had cut =C2=BC=E2=80=9D =
off the length of the threaded part, making the threads too short to go =
all the way throught the dash hole. I could not install the original =
nut on the threads and had to use a 1-inch long coupling nut to make the =
new one functional. I have been really disappointed in Moss for a =
while now, when previously they were pretty good, and at least =
convenient.

I just got your email out of the spam folder...

We knew in San Luis Obispo that they were sold, and I had a whole long =
conversation with one of the marketing people about the consistent poor =
quality of the stuff they were selling.
=20
They claimed there was nothing they could do about it because people =
always buy the lowest price, and are unwilling to pay for higher =
quality.
=20
My response was something along the lines of that practice will =
accelerate people out of the classic cars, if they can't even rely on =
brand new parts!
=20
Maybe they are rethinking it...
