So I had my heater box blasted and powdercoated and I'm not happy with the result - apparently is was just a bit too pitted and the pits show through...which is not what I am going for... :smile:

So I purchased the box and covers from AH Spares -

Does anyone know if these have "Smiths" stamped in them?

They'll show up soon and I'll know then, and I should have asked before I bought them, but I made a snap judgement...

AH Spares may have gotten them cheap, but they certainly dont's pass any savings along...and they are the only ones I found that have the heater box... mine showed up tonight and looks exactly like the original, so I'm happy. :smile:

The front and rear plates from Ashley are 13 GBP each with postage to the US at 8 GBP. The same plates from AHSpares are 15.50 GBP and 14.95 GBP respectively. Not a huge difference.

How do you purchase items directly from Ashley Hinton? I went to his web site once but [it] required a password to view prices and/or order. I emailed him to ask but his response led me to believe He didn't know what I was talking about and wasn't interested in dealing with me anyway. The whole thing was kinda strange because I was led to his website after He posted on Spritespot asking people to take a look and consider buying from him.

Mark,
That's the same experience I had. He has some other products I'd like to buy, but he is so unresponsive I can't get thru. I'm sure it's just a glitch in his system since he tries to sell his products here and on ebay.
