Hi Miq and All,
I have never had the experience you've had with Moss supplying us with
with inferior foreign parts (unless you count England). I've ordered
literally a couple thousand dollars worth of parts supplied by Moss and
they've always come labeled as being made in England. BTW, Moss USA just
bought British Moss, so we may have some previously unavailable parts soon.
Also all parts were top quality! However, I can't say the same for VB/LMC.

One thing of note about LMC, they were purchased about a year or two ago by
one of the two big parts suppliers of British cars, Victoria British. Moss
(the other big supplier) and Vicky Brit have a reputation at times to use
what ever parts they can get ahold of, ie less than top quality stuff that
is made in Taiwan or other places.
I have not ordered from LMC since they were purchased to be part of the
Vicky Brit line of parts products, and it has been a long couple of years
since I ordered anything from them for my Austin Healey. Like most large
parts houses, it can be a mixed bag, you can benefit by the larger customer
base by getting special hard to find bits; you can also get the short end
of the deal when they go with lowest bidder.
