I'm just starting the restoration of my BJ8. Recommendations for sheet-metal,
if you'd be so kind; usual Healey stuff, floors, sills, rockers, B posts. I
have noticed that there is quite a price difference between the Moss prices on
some items and Kilmartin. I appreciate that the Australian products have to
travel further! Thanks to all.

I used Kilmartin outer sills on my BN1. They were fine. They
have
them for six cylinder Healeys, too.
