I just called Special Interest Autos, just to check what their price on
the major front end kit was.  To my great please they are only charging
$92.50 for their kit.  Moss wants > $200 for theirs and Vicky Brit
wasn't off by far.  The closest I found was $148 by Northwest, so it
really pays to shop around in this case.  Thanks Nory for pointing me in
this direction (to bad $80 wasn't still in effect).

Well here comes my quandary.  I now have the spindle bushings for the
kingpin, but no reamer to do it myself (I do have access to a big Healey
one, no chance they are the same is there).  I know that Apple will
install them for $80 for the set, but I am wondering if this is
something I should be able to do locally since I have all the parts.  It
just doesn't seem that this would be a job that should cost $80 for
labor only.

Well, I still have to order the A-arms and paint the wires before I
start on this.

Take care.
