My original point was that most British manufacturers used
standardized parts. You would not see, for instance, the same
gas gauge on a Chevrolet Corvette as you would see on a Lincoln
Continental. Granted, all manufacturers source components from
outside suppliers, but those components are usually made to
the manufacturer's specifications. Many components of mainstream
British cars were simply ordered out of a catalog.
