TR2/3/3A Rimmer vs. Moss body panels

I'm getting my list of panels together for the TR2 and Rimmer is hanving a sale on the panels I need - inner and outer sills, floors, and I'm thinking of picking up A-Pilars as well. My B-pillars look fine to re-use. (The A-Pilars looks good as well, but the cage nuts are all bad for the fender and door hinges and I'm not sure how bad I'll have to cut them to get the front sill to let go).

Is there any different at all between Moss and Rimmer on body panels, or are they all basically made in the same place and sold to the varius distributors? Rimmer, even with shipping and duties, is coming in significantly less for some of this stuff.

Thanks in adanvce,
Robby

You should not forget TRF. I do not know their present availability on body panels, especially for a TR2 if different from later models. I have used the TRF floor panels and found them very good. Better than others on the market.

Moss and rimmers and SNG Barrett are now under the same ownership. Basically the same company. They seem to take it in turns to have the offers.

So go for the best price with shipping.

They’ll all need fettling to fit your tub.
 
Thanks.
I'll go with the Rimmer while they're on sale. I have them getting me a quote for all the stuff I'll need to fit up a body for restoration. Hopefully they can get a good deal on the shipping and tarrifs won't kill the savings or take months in customs.
