Popped over from the Triumph forum, any of you guys know or have done business with this company. Looking for a decent chrome shop.

I would not recommend this man's business to anyone. He has placed several people in danger by selling fuel tanks with incorrect pick up fittings that strip when mating up with the fuel line. This has happened to both Jag and Healey owners. I don't wish to clutter this forum with this kind of posting so email me if you have any questions on this matter. haywoodone@hotmail.com
Take care,

George, I'll send you an email. We purchased a bunch of chrome trim for a TR-3A and the quality was excellent, as was the fit.

I was kinda excited when I saw that he is selling the original style 'strap' tank for early pull-handle MGBs. I believe he is manufacturing them himself based off original specs.

Has anyone contacted him regarding these problems? It may be that he is not aware of the fitting issues.

My understanding is that he was notified of the incorrect pick ups and he eventually changed his production part to be the correct type fitting. There is a small coupler that can be used to work-around the older/incorrect tanks. More info here:
