Back to the title of this string, I had a very positive experience with
this outfit: https://www.classiccarperformance.com/, the umbrella company
which will show up if you search under "BritishStarters.com". I needed a
part for my gear reduction starter I had bought from then many years ago
and got an immediate reply from the owner of the company with the part
arriving a few days later--all free. I'm not saying they are giving away
their product but they definitely have good customer support. which in turn
deserves our support.
