Barney makes a good point. I'm aware of a service that has cross-matched
thousands of parts for classic and vintage American cars. Why can't this be
done for LBCs? I seem to recall in the early days of this list that someone
was attempting this reference work. That would be a great achievement for
anyone, but more in the line of one of the many clubs we have in the US. I
wouldn't think that the MGOC would do something like this because of their
extensive parts inventory, but what about the MGCC or Triumph Club. It would
be a boon to parts suplliers and certainly a benefit to us LBC owners.
