All the racks sold by MOSS are made in Argentina - the only rack produced in=
 the UK for the TR is made for TR Enterprises and has a solid billet casing,=
 so instantly recognisable.

Putting the Argentinian rack in a bag with a sticker that says 'product of t=
he U.K.' Is surely just a dodge to mask the source and to hoodwink people in=
to thinking that it's a different product. That's simply scandalous.=20
