I bought loads of little bits from them over the years; usually same day despatch and quick delivery, and very helpful if you need to ask a question (certainly by email anyway).
I tended to buy larger items elsewhere though (such as a new hood for the Midget) as they can be a bit on the expensive side sometimes (and with an MG i had plenty of options..!)

As above, quality is great but you pay for it.
I used to use them all the time as I lived near one, only reason I stopped was because I didn't have the time to drive there and other people had more user friendly websites.

Where abouts are you? The guys in Bradford are happy to give out advice, let you look at the part etc. If you can get there!

These mirrors are the stock BL door mirror fitted to MG, Morris, Austin, Triumph and others throughout the 70s and originally made by Tex (not sure if they still are) I've bought several pairs over the years, James Paddock being my preferred supplier.
They are OK, nothing special but seviceable and reasonably long lasting. The good thing about them is they usually come with a couple of different plastic plinths to allow for different shaped doors, the worst problem with them is in the fitting, they fit into the door with a rawlplug type arrangement which comes loose easily and the grub screw that holds the mirror to the plinth will seize solid in a year or two unless treated with copper grease on installation.

Moss stuff is usually better quality. When I first got my MGB, I bought various cheap parts on ebay, and found out quickly that they were just chinese rubbish so had to end up buying it again a few months later. These days I usually buy from Moss, or one of the other big name suppliers. A lot of the ebay parts specialists are just turning over junk parts quickly.

Personally, I'd only ever buy convex - they give a wider field of view...

Mirror arrived and fitted . I wasn't happy with the self tappers so used stainless M5 bolts .Looks much more 'period' than the black plastic cheapo one that was on there .Seems very nice quality
