I have to say in England I had a totally different expeirence when
rebuilding the engine of my 29 Imperial.
I needed pistons, Egge listed them as in stock in various oversizes
(for those who dont know the L*80 engine continued in production after the
Imperial in use in both Dodge Trucks and as a Marine version).
I ordered the +60 thou pistons I needed, only to be told they weren't in
stock after all, there would be a 6 month delay and they will cost 50% more than
the list price.
You can look at it in two ways - bad management with no concern for
customer relations or sharp practice.
Needless to say I sourced the Pistons elsewhere.
