Nick, don't forget to ask them to supply the VAT paperwork so that you can
claim back the VAT (17.5%) that they will add to your invoice. Your Dad then
gets the form stamped at the port of exit (airport). Note that this is may
possibly before passport control etc. and he may need to show proof that he is
taking the panels out the country. i.e. have them with him. If he's flying out
of Heathrow (London), make sure he has lots of time. I flew out of Glasgow and
the VAT reclaim desk was inside the departure lounge after security, passport
control etc after you have thus checked your baggage. Quiller may even possibly
know.

Subject: Re: where in the UK to get Parts-thanks and update
Many thanks to Richard Gosling, Alan, Jonathon Miles, and Robert Gunther.
I've just placed an order with Quiller Triumph because: they had an e-mail
address, and they responded to my e-mail enquiry. With the 8 hour time
difference, I sent the enquiry at 9:45 AM on Thursday, got their response
that evening (early Friday morning their time). They use Steelcraft panels,
which listers advise are good quality. Their prices are slightly higher than
TRGB, but less than Rimmers.
Now I have to wait until near the end of October for my Dad to bring the
panels over.
In the meantime I'm going to switch my 78 from thermostatic clutch fan to a
fixed (older) style that I have lying around. Coolant is leaking where the
water pump housing meets the cylinder head, and there are un-happy noises
coming from the front of the engine. I hope this solves it. Any things to
beware in this swap?
Cheers
Nick Moseley
