Yes. Year One are expensive.
But years ago they were really the only complete source for your restoration needs and as much of their stock as possible was New Old Stock.
These days there are many more companies running and mostr of the NOS stuff has dried out.
The only advantage to Year One these days is their customer service. They are fantastic to deal with (important for us overseas lot) and have a no argument return or replacement service.
I have had parts arrive in the UK battered to hell by the postal service and dockers. Year One have simpley sent out replacements straight away without me needing to send the originals back.
You can't get better service than that so for that reason I still use Year One for occasional items.
