[Healeys] BN2 peeing oil - SOLVED

[Bob Spidell]

Thanks, Michael. Got a source?

BTW, Tom Monaco of Tom's Import Toys told me yesterday all the parts 
suppliers have a lot of backordered stock; he's a Moss distributor and 
said Moss has (something like) 125K parts backordered (they supposedly 
sell 10x that in total).
