Hi all,
=20
Atter 11+ years, my BJ8 has finally reached the point where I took her =
home yesterday painted Healey Blue. Now I can put all of the nice =
painted body parts back on, hopefully without scratching anything.=20
=20
Back in 2015 I purchased many parts in preparation for this day. One =
item is the MKIII badge (of which I opened the box for the first time =
yesterday). When I place it in it=E2=80=99s spot on the front shroud, I =
was not happy with the way that it looked compared to 2 old badges that =
I have.=20
=20
The old badge has less of an arch, and fits more flush to the body. The =
first thing I noticed is that the repro has more of an arch left to =
right. It=E2=80=99s more bulbous left to right than the originals. This =
new one really only touches the body at the ends of the =
=E2=80=9Cwings=E2=80=9D. To me, I think it looks wrong.=20
=20
In 2015 I paid $234 for this part from Moss. I see Moss lists this part =
now for $399=E2=80=A6ouch! Does anyone have any experience with this =
part? Has the reproduction part improved since 2015?=20
=20
Thanks in advance,
=20
Dave
