<<I've come across a site on the web entitled The British Parts Connection
which quotes discounts on the items featured in Moss, TRF, ect.
catalogs. Has anyone had any experience, positive or negative with this
company? >>
Dick Burger at The British Parts Connection is great to deal with. You
provide him with the part numbers (Moss, TRF or VB) he places the order, it's
drop shipped to you and you pay him (no credit cards). He deals with the
returns too.
<<I'm searching for a good price on an interior kit, dash kit,
and major trim kit for my 1974 TR-6.>>
I ordered a complete interior from VB through Dick. I got it all - seats,
panel kit, wool carpets, rubber weatherstriping kit, plus a bunch of other
stuff used in my restoration. I did alot of research - checked all the
various suppliers and went with VB. The order was placed in early June and
over the next 8 weeks everything came in. At the time VB was VERY slow in
getting anything out the door - in stock or special orders. the interior
parts are first rate. The wool carpets are especially beautiful. The rubber
weatherstripping kit is worthless. The fuzzy door seal is wrong, the front
and rear bonnet seals are wrong, the window seal on the windshield post is
wrong. How they can be a British Motor Heritage approved supplier is beyond
me. Moss has the correct seals in stock. Order them through Dick at the
British Parts Connection.
Usual disclaimers apply. No connection with any of the above entities except
that I pay their salaries, vacations, food, children's educations - in other
words I'm both their customer and their boss. (Rant and rave mode off. I've
been holding my tongue for the past few weeks about this VB problem I
experienced and I feel much better now doctor).
