Thanks for all the rapid replies and the information! I like cherrios and can enjoy before cutting the box.mmmmmm Great information and always a pleasure to get advise here.
One more question without starting a new post: Do any of you that did a full restoration have a list of parts/components that you knew "must" be replaced? for example, all electrical wiring, brakes, brake lines, bearings, firewall insulation, etc. Each "component" has several parts to it that typically need replacing. I have all the metal work completed, the transmission rebuilt, the engine machine work completed and rebuilt. I need to mock up the components prior to painting to make sure everything fits/works. My experience is on American cars so there are some obvious items. I know i will need to order more things as something always comes up, I am just trying to save some time and place a big order to get this phase started. (call me lazy but if there is a checklist already it will save me hours if not days). Car is a 59 BN4 100/6 and has front disc brakes (probably changed during its racing days). fyi, i coach football so my projects stall this time of year and I am trying to keep it moving thus trying to save time as I work full time also.
I am thinking of ordering through Moss this time, however, healey surgeons in DC has been great to me.

Doug
