Woa You HAVE a TRF catalogue for your car? Im impressed. They still do
not have a TR3 catalogue. Just try to order a part for a later TR3A that
is different than the corresponding part in the TR2 factory parts book. I
did a couple of times with level II people who didn't seem to know what a
TR3 looked like. The first time I got wrong parts. The second time, i
canceled the order after I came to the conclusion the level II person & I
were talking about different things. The third time I just ordered the
correct part out of the Moss catalogue. Maybe the Roadster Factory should
just adapt the Moss part numbers & let people order parts from them out of
a Moss catalogue?

I can safely say If it were not for Moss spending the money to reproduce
the parts that TRF says are NLA, my car would be missing a lot of parts.
Bottom line is we each spend money with companys that we think give us the
best product/service for the money. I personaly have spent several
thousand dollars at both Moss Motors and the Roadster Factory, Everything
I purchased from VB ended up getting returned. Over the last few years TRF
went from being my prime supplier to being my second supplier.
