I don't know about you chaps but I am constantly amazed at the number
of "specialists" out there that are not generally known. I have
found an outfit in this Province who makes valves - He made the
complete set of valves in stainless steel for my 1955 Aston at half
the price for ordinary ones from the "normal" supply source. I had
my generator and starter rebuilt at another "specialist" for an
unbelievably reasonably low price, I have just discovered a UK
outfit that remanufactures distributor caps for all Lucas units. So
there are quite a few of these people who do great stuff but cannot
qualify for the British Car Cottage Industries web site as they are a
commercial concern
SO I am starting a section on the BCCI web site for these
people. The criteria are that the work/product must be made by them
and is not a bought in item for resale. It must be outside the realm
of "consumer products" - so a tire manufacturer, windscreen washer
fluid, or oil supplier would not qualify. The concern must have,
currently, a low profile so while someone like Moss makes unique and
desirable products (supercharger etc) they would not qualify as their
promotional effort is huge.
VALVES
Bing Bong Blast Inc. makes both inlet and exhaust
valves for modern and classic cars from samples.
REAR PLASTIC LENSES
CeeMeGo Inc offers reproduction plastic lenses for rear
lights for British cars.
MGB SUSPENSION
Bob Upandown Ltd, UK, can supply coil over spring front
suspension for most MGBs.
(The listings will be in alphabetical order!)
If you know anyone who would fit into the Specialist section please
send me contact details.
