The latest Knockoffs (2 eared, 12 TPI type) from Moss do not have the (nearside) or (offside) and they said they believe theirs comes from the only factory in England making these anymore.
Does nearside/offside refer to the drivers/passenger side? Wouldn't the knockoffs need to be marked differently for left hand drive and right hand drive vehicles? I can only find one set of numbers in the parts list. Did the large export quantities to N. American rule the tooling choice?
Does anyone know if the parts were supeceded by the factory to remove the (nearside) (offside) lettering? Moss was suggesting this may be the case. They gave me a call when I returned the parts and are interested in knowledgeable input on the lettering from the Healey community. I know tooling gets replaced as it wears out and sometimes the new tooling gets changed in ways subtle and not so subtle. I've seen a bunch of original Lucas 594 glass lenses and all of them look a little different.
Any input that I can pass on to Moss (Kelvin Dodd and Michael Grant) would be greatly appreciated. If anyone knows of another source producing the correct knockoff that info would also be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
