>Gary, don't feel too bad. When I first moved to Delaware the starter went
bad on my TR6, and I ordered one from Motorhead. It showed up the next day,
and I was delighted at the speedy service. When I opened up the box there
was a packing slip left in from "precision staryer and generator" Newark DE.
Turns out they are 5 miles from my house and what I paid $170 for, I could
have got for $ 85 or thereabouts. Stu.
