[Mgs] NW Import Parts

[h.duinhoven at planet.nl]

That’s the problem with Japanese products.

The products are so often altered, that specific parts will become NLA easier than for the good old British classics.

I recently had this with a Japanese bicycle part of Shimano – the front wheel alternator hub.

It was not old, but parts are not obtainable.

So I bought a 2nd hand hub and put all the spokes on that.

Yes – it takes some time, but the result still is working for some years now…

 

Cheers,

Hans

I've used them several times over the years and had no problems. I bought a few mild grind performance cams and an AL cylinder head.

 

There are only so many manufacturers for the parts in the world, so the quality will be the same for items that come from the same manufacturer....

 

Lots of places are also Moss resellers, so you will get the same quality on that too. I have seen Moss pull parts that are not good as well as issue warnings on products with poor quality. Have you contacted them with your issues? (There may be nothing that can be done...)

 

On a side note, I recently picked up another roadster. This one is a 2001 Miata. 

 

I am disappointed at the lack of part availability for this 20 year old car. Makes me glad I can still get parts for my 2 MGBs. 

 

I don't know that when my Miata is fifty there will be any source for nearly everything on it, no matter what the quality is. (Though I probably won't be looking for parts for it in 30 years, one of my sons might have that challenge.)

Anyone ordered from them?  Any issues?

 

What’s the consensus on the best place to get MGB parts?  Moss quality just isn’t there.
