February 7, 201313 yr comment_646525 It's good to hear your onto someone that can help with parts. I do know someone that can help if you ever get stuck(I'll chase up a link for you) A good mate and his dad run a mini/moke spares and repair business in Vic. Has sooooo much cool stuff for them it isn't even funny!! For example it's the only place I've ever seen a KAD twin cam cylinder head!! I think Mick still owns the under 1600 sports sedan lap record at Phillip Island. They did the resto on my next door neighbors '63 slide window mini, I must say its a work of art!! Pretty good price on the disk setup too. They don't live out at Bendigo do they? Report
