The part you need to get is to order from someone who is a Healey
specialist rather than from Moss directly.
Call the nocks @ www.britishcarspecialists.com they are Moss resellers
& Healey specialists... they will know which parts from Moss are crap
and which ones are good, they have a huge stock of their own healey
parts seperate from Moss, they may have the proper mounts in stock.
If not, they will have the bolts.
