Don't worry about the Moss Yellow disk (yes that is the color disk we get
numbers on)...that also includes Nisonger and CARS (both companies are part
of the Moss empire). I will try to get Rimmer Bros, TR parts list...wish
me luck. Although I have access to the Moss disk...I will NOT grant access
to anyone else...I will not post prices on the disk, I will just use the
part number (and the original factory descriptions).

The only think I can see as a problem right now is getting access to hard
to find parts for like pre '50 LBCs (I have most major pre 50, but not
small ones). I'll see if I can take our inventory of 85,000 parts (here at
British Miles, long story), and transfer it to a new type of database that
I can then put on the web.
BTW, I am stuck doing Lucas inventory as of now...and it is really fun to
find old parts from like TCs and K2s...like an NOS wiper motor (still in
original 1947 NOS box)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
