Frank,
My experience has been that, when I call Moss, the person I talk to knows 
what an MGB is and can intelligently discuss the actual part in question. 
When I have called VB, I get some lady who has a hard time spelling MGB, let 
alone Austin-Healey and has no idea what any of the parts are. OTOH, it HAS 
been a long while since I have talked to either one, since I prefer to deal 
with PPP whenever possible and British Racing Green in Delaware.
