The problem is that they carry the parts but there is no way to know about
stocked parts not in the glovebox mini catalogues or the factory TR2 parts
manual unless you can figure out the part #. During the last couple of
years I have had very poor luck in connecting to level II order takers who
knew much about T3s.
When TRF brings parts to Triumphest I never get out of their room without
spending $400-600 on parts I did not know they carried or know how to order
from them.
Moss has complete catalogues. Thats THE reason I now go to Moss first and
TRF second. When Charles gets around to the TR32-3B catalogue, I'll most
likely switch back.
