I would also like to throw in my two cents worth about Sunbeam
Speacialties and Victoria British.  Over the years I've spent about
$4000 on my restoration and all of it has gone to Rick and Sunbeam
Specialties.  Rick is a very nice guy and will bend over backwards to
help out a 'Beamer in need.  He offers excellent customer service and
has even sent me parts at no cost when I didn't even ask him!  He also
repaired carpeting damaged by mice while in storage in my garage at no
charge.  As a result I buy all of my parts from Rick when I can.
  In stark contrast to Rick's customer oriented business is Victoria
British.  The first, and only, time I bought from them the parts I
received were unbelievably inferior (door & window rubber, etc.).  I
returned every last thing and demanded a refund.  Surprisingly, along
with my refund they sent a $20 credit.  I guess they didn't want to
lose my business.  I never used the credit.
