Hi All

Please excuse any unintentional negative inference in my comments.

Ben should take any concern about not being able to tell his parts from good condition original very much as a compliment for taking the time to do a really good job.

Might I suggest that we start a new thread, not related to any particular restoration project, to discuss how to convey the history of vehicles and their parts. The photo albums that most the restorers on this forum seem to keep document the meticulous care taken in both restoring "original" parts and the fabrication of missing or un-restoreable parts.

Cheers Phil

Again my apologies
