That=E2=80=99s the problem with Japanese products.
The products are so often altered, that specific parts will become NLA easi=
er than for the good old British classics.
I recently had this with a Japanese bicycle part of Shimano =E2=80=93 the f=
ront 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 =E2=80=93 it takes some time, but the result still is working for some =
years now=E2=80=A6
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 qua=
lity 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 w=
arnings on products with poor quality. Have you contacted them with your is=
sues? (There may be nothing that can be done...)
On a side note, I recently picked up another roadster. This one is a 2001 M=
iata.
I am disappointed at the lack of part availability for this 20 year old car=
=2E 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 nearl=
y 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 ch=
allenge.)
