Mick - trying to sort the wiring

When we visited BMH to watch them build new shells (MGCC Midget Register organised visit around March '08), we asked if they would consider manufacturing the US hinge for us non-US owners, since they are better.

Thay said yes... since it's an original design they'd be no problems with liability that would affect a re-designed part.

Not heard anything... will drop them an email.

I have used both of these guys before, Im sure the ship international...they are both really good to work with. the warehouse one is really busy all the time, so does require follow up from time to time, but they are honest, and wont send you trash.
