I received this e-mail from Pat in Saint John. Usually I just refer these to the Forum, but I thought this could use a little broader audience. Let's hear your advice. Here's his e-mail:
David:
I own a 1958 Morris Minor 1000. 2dr, saloon. I am getting ready for some body work/painting in July. I have in hand some quotes from a British dealer (UK); replacement seals around lights, door and glass - that sort of thing; also, chrome bumper bolts. I have a few questions about shipping from England and where others find such items as I have mentioned.
1. Is anyone ordering from England in the very near future? I would like to join their order.
2. Have you an e-mail of someone who has renewed their trims or gaskets or seals such that that they found the unique clips which associate with this work.
3. If you wanted to chrome a bumper who would you choose?
My main issue here is to gather a little experience from the "go-to-guys" on such matters.
Regards, Pat

plating masters 1978 in London Ontario. Excellent prices flawless product finish. don't use Zenith out of Hailfax. Friend has a mid 50's ford and it was done in spring 2 years ago and by the next spring had over 200 oits. Try the Rover club in Saint John. Seems we forget those who we have used before to ship engines etc.
I also posted a link to a company who makes authentic rubbers and channels in Ontario on this site and can get teh link from work tomorrow. The owner used to work in Britain at the Morris factory if memory serves correct. Chris Hollum in Montreal may have bolts. Tried Woosleys in the UK?
oits should have read PITS
under warranty but if its bad once it will be bad 2 or more.
