I emailed John and got an email back pretty quickly.

The only thing I’m not sure about are the straps across the paintwork which will cause scratching.

Anyone able to confirm this, more visible on dark colours obvs.

I’ve never really worried too much
The straps are quite soft elastic and they are reasonable tight so only touch at the areas in tension

I keep my Mog waxed and reasonably clean which all helps of course

If you have to put it on after a long journey and the car is mucky, I’d just give it a quick spray of Detailer and wipe off any dust or dirt with a large soft microfibre on the paint areas where the straps touch

I had to pay tax/ custom fees again to DHL - it was a mistake by customs or DHL - but it's impossible to clarify

Since Brexit the parts from my UK suppliers raised about 24%.

To order parts from outside the EC became very expensive and sometimes you have to have staying power:
Last month the German custom "processed" an imported motorbike part for over 4 weeks.

Perhaps this is the reason why sone comanies do not deliver parts to the EC anymore - and do not longer answer enquiries


However, I have come to know John Taylor as a friendly and helpful business partner. There are sometimes tecnical problems etc.
Some weeks ago I had a chat by mail with John about some question about his storm cover.

And +1 for the Morgan-Park service!

No customs problems at this end. Item dispatched Vienna, Austria 15:53 local time yesterday, arrived today 16:31 local time.
