Genuine Non_ Genuine spares?

[johnnyboy-wonder57]

On a serious note of quality & authenticity, with regards to metals used & durability:
Just a question but is this firm an example of stuff not being manufactured in the UK?

HERITAGE MOTORCYCLE PARTS offers over 1200 newly manufactured replica spare parts, books and tools made to the original spec.for Classic British Motorcycles pre 1985 ie TRIUMPH,BSA,ARIEL,AJS,MATCHLESS,NORTON,ENFIELD etc. I work SINGLEHANDEDLY to offer a fast,quality service.Buy with confidence!
Are we talking fake copies here, anyone had experience of buying stuff from them?


Cheers

Also trades on ebay as rectoryantiques17, not sure that you would call them fake copies, more commonly called pattern parts, the biggest supplier to the trade only is Wassell who source the parts worldwide, there is definitely a very good market for these parts although the quality is very variable and you often need to be able to "make slight adjustments to make them fit".

Our host on this very site is a supplier of these Wassell supplied parts and a far nicer person to deal with and also has a far superior knowledge of the parts being sold.

The story as I have been given to understand regarding Heritage is that the business was started by Joanne's husband who passed away, she then decided to carry the business on, I have bought from her in the past, but won't in the future, she has no clue about what she sells but whatever you do don't complain, she gets very stroppy.
