Skip,
You're great! I was just about to dig out the Service Parts List
and try to find the part numbers when I spotted your response. The idea
that a vendor would dig up the part number from a 'competitor' and
provide it to a 'could-have-been' customer is not the normal way of
life. I guess that's the sort of thing that makes us MG'ers a bit
different from a lot of ordinary folks. Congratulations for your
integrity and spirit.
