Moss vs Victoria British sheet metal parts

[au67]

I'm about to buy front & rear floors for my 57 100-6. I've already replaced the sills. Just wondering is there any difference between the moss floors & the Victoria British as there is a pretty big difference in price, the Victoria British are much cheaper.

Thanks in advance,
Ashley

Comparing vendors can get a bit touchy. I'd recommend that you first call them and ask what the source is for these parts. They may be different parts from different makers, thus possibly explaining the price difference.

Since front and rear floors do not show, the cheaper stuff may be just as good, although there's always the issue of "fit" and the extra hassle of trimming, if needed.

Maybe someone here can speak from experience with these parts from these vendors. You might also widen your search for other possible sources, gathering info on maker and price from more than two vendors. Many of the best sources advertise in HEALEY MARQUE magazine.

Kilmartins may be another vendor to source info from

Not knowing early on to specify Kilmartin, I was able to compare while replacing lots of structural and sheet metal parts on my BJ8. It didn't take long to develop a strong opinion that Kilmartin parts are the clearly better product. Moss sells Kilmartin and other suppliers' products. My experience is that Moss will not tell you in advance which supplier's parts they will ship. Other vendors will let you know in advance.

You cannot go wrong with Kilmartin Automotive Sheetmetal!
You may still have to trim the edges, but as my barber used to say (when I had hair) "I can always take a little more off, putting it back on is another matter!
