update...
County Radiators of Rayleigh Essex,
County Lane Classics of Knutsford, Cheshire,
But no company called County who make pistons!!!! Not in the UK
companies register anyway. Weird eh!
One more reply awaited from that Emporium of Classic Cars, 'Practical
Classics Magazine', THE UK reference people. ( email <
practical.classics@ecm.emap.com > They do an excellent market directory
of all UK firms for our hobby.
