Subj: Re: [Healeys] Getting decent quality  parts


I worked, briefly, at Victoria British, many years ago. At that time,  they 
offered the customer Lucas parts or the option of less expensive  repro parts. 
They also offered 
MGB fenders from the original tooling or less expensive repro  fenders. They 
even had a note in the catalog that indicated the less expensive  fenders 
might need more work to get them to fit. Sales of the more expensive  parts were 
almost non-existent. The complaints about the fenders were  so numerous & 
costly to VB that they actually stopped selling  them & only offered the better 
part. I don't know if that is still true  today. 
I am often amazed at how often a reply to a question on this list is not  
directed to the to the original question, but "how to do it cheaper".
