[Healeys] Getting decent quality parts

[Tracy Drummond]

I need a QUALITY headlight switch for a 76 Midget.  The one I ordered from
the big name supplier fell apart.  I have no idea how this part could ever
work for any one.  Way too fragile.

Having been in the British parts business for many years I have to agree
with the "very senior person at Moss".
We used to have an expression...
"There are three things that our customers look for in parts: Price, price
and price".
Top quality and perfection are usually not included in the lowest price
parts and it takes a very experienced restorer to recognize that that is the
case.
