Paul, first of all welcome to the NoBBC and I look forward to meeting you on
a ride soon. I don't know Michael Veys but I know Doug Jackson very well.
Doug specialized in repairing MGs for many decades before he retired a
couple of years ago. If you go to Doug's website at www.mgbmga.com you'll
see what I mean, there isn't anything that he doesn't know about MGAs and
Bs. So if Doug recommended Michael I would trust him.
