[Mgb-v8] Specialists

[Barrie Robinson]

I don't know about you chaps but I am constantly amazed at the number 
of "specialists" out there that are not generally known.  I have 
found an outfit in this Province who makes valves - He made the 
complete set of valves in stainless steel for my 1955 Aston at half 
the price for ordinary ones from the "normal" supply source.   I had 
my generator and starter rebuilt at another "specialist" for an 
unbelievably reasonably low price,  I have just discovered a UK 
outfit that remanufactures distributor caps for all Lucas units.  So 
there are quite a few of these people who do great stuff but cannot 
qualify for the British Car Cottage Industries web site as they are a 
commercial  concern

SO I am starting a section on the BCCI web site for these 
people.  The criteria are that the work/product must be made by them 
and is not a bought in item for resale.  It must be outside the realm 
of "consumer products" - so a tire manufacturer, windscreen washer 
fluid, or oil supplier would not qualify.  The concern must have, 
currently, a low profile so while someone like Moss makes unique and 
desirable products (supercharger etc) they would not qualify as their 
promotional effort is huge.

VALVES
              Bing Bong Blast Inc. makes both inlet and exhaust 
valves for modern and classic cars from samples.

REAR PLASTIC LENSES
              CeeMeGo Inc offers reproduction plastic lenses for rear 
lights for British cars.

MGB SUSPENSION
              Bob Upandown Ltd, UK, can supply coil over spring front 
suspension for most MGBs.

(The listings will be in alphabetical order!)


If you know anyone who would fit into the Specialist section please 
send me contact details.
