Joe,
I don't know how long you have waited for Redqueen but I successfully bought
a TR4 NOS Voltage Regulator and a NOS overdrive switch from them last year.
Got a good price but it took a long time to recieve the parts and I notice in
their disclaimer now they say it takes a long time to deliver (I was anxious
as anyone would be even though my car won't run for couple more years).
His is a husband and wife business. His brother was also in the business
which they started at least 15 years ago but he suddenly died 6 months ago
(from spraying RAID to kill ants and then taking a nap in the same room - he
was only in his mid 30s).
There was a sad lull in his business shortly afterwards but now John has
thrown himself 'head on' into aquiring and selling even more British parts
and his eBay listings have doubled the workload I imagine.
Hope you can give him and his wife and grammar school daughter a little more
time to deliver. He's a good guy and brings alot of good parts to market.

Hi folks,
Just though I would warn you about a vendor on E-Bay that goes by the
user name "redqueen3". They have a poor record as shown by the better
business bureau and also E-Bay as I now find out. They are located at
734 West Gardena Blvd, Gardena, Ca. their phone number is 310-769-4971.
So if anyone is in that area please bug them for me. I suspect they have
caller ID and won't answer if they see a suspect caller.
The regularly advertise Triumph and MG parts as well as others. I bid
on an item and was not a high bidder but was contacted by them about a
second one they had. I sent them a money order and that's the last
contact I have had with them. They won't answer their phorn or
e-mails. I have filed a complaint with the Los Angeles Better Business
Bureau, The Federal Trade Commission (which doesn't persue handle
individual complaints a but will put it in their data base) and have
contacted the Los Angeles District Attorneys Office - Consumer
Protection Office.
I think the next step I may take if I don't get any satisfaction is to
file a Small Claims Complaint and if I have to hire someone to represent
me. They'll have to pay the cost in the end. I'm rather nasty when it
comes to things like this.
