[TR] TRF club...........Moss deals

[Barrie Robinson]

Gary,

I have restored a TR3, Austin Healey, MGB GT V8 and now into a 1955 
Aston Martin.

The way I do it is to shop around.  I found LBCcompany very 
reasonable but got some stuff cheaper from other sources (wire 
wheels).  Moss can be good but I found interiors were better and 
cheaper from Prestige in the UK ( BUT not original).   I was quoted 
$68 for my Aston rubber spark plug covers but got them from Metro 
Mouldings in USA for $15- then found cheaper ones in the UK.   My 
Aston valves I got made to order cheaper at a specialist than they 
were from Aston suppliers.  I found a European supplier of MGB styled 
switches at one quarter of the price from MGB parts suppliers.  My 
Aston uses TR3 rear lights and the prices of these vary all over the 
place!!!  Leather for the Aston interior is half the price from 
furniture supply sources - and as good.  I found fasteners difficult 
and my nearest "cheap" supplier is a 2.5 hour drive away.

The ONLY way is to shop around
