[Healeys] County, Another part snafu

[Bob Spidell]

What he said. 

My father and I have had several problems where we've ordered parts that appear to have been returned with incorrect substitutes. At one time, one of the brake slave cyls for 100s was much more expensive than the others; we ordered one of the (expensive) ones and found that someone had put one of the cheaper ones in the box and returned it, pocketing the difference. We also bought a set of coils for a V8 from a reputable online retailer, and found at least one where someone had put their defective, old coil in the box and returned it, presumably for a full refund. 

In both cases we informed the seller, who shrugged it off, and the parts were probably re-stocked for the next unsuspecting customer.

You assume that this had to be a County error. We have had many times 
that things are boxed wrong from many suppliers. It is always 
possible that they were a returned set and the previous purchaser had 
ordered the wrong size and then returned them in the wrong box. 

We all must realize that if County who is actually part of XRN which 
a company in England was not producing the parts they are we would 
not be driving our cars. 

This problem is not just in our cars. I have done a High Performance 
67 Mustang for my son. Some of the parts that i have received for 
that car to include electrical and upholstery parts as well as that 
rubber parts are total junk. Door panels that can not be removed 
because the material is so thin that it cracks as soon as you try to 
remove the panel, and material that is cut to short and falls off 
with in 1 year of installing. Turn signal switches that are wired 
wrong, door seals that fall off. Sound familiar. And there are a 
probably more 67 Mustangs on the road today than there are the total 
Healey's on the road.
