And thank you, Jack! All I can add to that is hear! hear! I still
remember trying to get head studs for my (then) 12 year old TR3 at a
Triumph dealership, and being treated like some exotic insect / pest who
may as well have asked for a chunk of moon rock. It's easy to criticize
now, but I can't imagine where the hobby would be without the "Big 3".
