Guys I finished my BT7 a few years ago (see before and after) and now I'm going to start on a BJ8 I have. It's going to need outriggers and a bunch of other stuff.

Do you know of anyone other than Moss who supplies good quality parts? I have no problem with Moss, I am just looking for other options.

British Car Speclalists in Stockton, CA. Healey Surgeons in Maryland. Little British Car Company in Michigan is a Moss reseller - lower prices, but delivery is longer. British Wiring in Pennsylvania for wiring harnesses. Autofarm (Bob Yule) in Canada. AH Spares in the UK. A partial list...
 
Kilmartin in Australia is known for higher/highest quality sheet metal parts and other various bits (including new chassis/frames). Ownership may have changed hands and they may be in a state of flux and, of course, shipping might be an issue. Their outriggers (rockers?) have the proper oh-so-slight curve to them, whereas most aftermarket parts don't. I believe BCS sells some of their stuff, and Moss might as 'upgraded'--i.e. more expensive--options. Also, Tom Monaco at Tom's Import Toys is a Moss distributor and knocks 10% off the top of the Moss parts and only charges actual shipping from lowest cost haulers (no minimum that i know of). He's 'old school,' he sends the parts--immediately if he has them on the shelf--and an invoice and you send him a check.

Kilmartin is still in business, still under original ownership. Nothing in in a state of flux and shipping is not an issue.
 
My mistake. I'd heard the Bros. wanted to retire and sell the company, and had a buyer but it fell through. Shipping, per se, isn't a problem, but returns might be. They sold me a BN1 repair panel for my BN2, and refunded me but didn't want the incorrect one back.
 
Autofarm in Canada , they source all their parts from the UK .AH spare or AH4H
 
British Car Specialists (BCS) sells Kilmartin parts. They are the outriggers and sills that I used 20+ years ago.
