I'll second that. Colin Bailey, who did Rich's bodywork, used the Kilmartin
rockers on mine and Rich gave me that same speech about curves! When I first
had the rockers done way back in '78, I got replacements from Sports and
Classics, but they were straight and Rich would tease me mercilessly about
them. When he re-did them in 2008 he put them right.
Cheers, MIrek

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Body panels.
As explained in an article by the late Rich Chrysler, there are no straight
lines on an Austin Healey. The correct rocker panels will have a very subtle
compound curve which bows slightly to the outside of the body and also
droops a bit under the doors. These must be made in a press. Many after
market rockers are produced on a brake, which can only give a straight fold.
These parts mar the symmetry of the intended body line. If you have ever
seen a car that just had something wrong either the look of the lower body
it probably had the straight rockers installed. I don't know anything about
the Moss part, but I know the KAS part is correct.

Can anyone please tell me if the Kilmartin rocker panels for the BJ8 are
worth three times as much as those from Moss?
I have to declare that I have had Kilmartin stuff before, and whilst good,
it's not been perfect!
