Russ:
The embossed sill plates sold by Moss (and probably others) for big Healeys
come from KAS in Australia. You can probably do a Google search on them.
The K in KAS stands for Kilmartin. I think AS stands for automotive
sheetmetal. I have their catalog, but unfortunately it is at a body shop
which is doing a BN7 MK2 for me. The big Healey embossed pattern is not
what you are looking for. It is small raised dots pattern. KAS is very
easy to work with. I had to have some special plates done, and it went
well.
