orangeLJ Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 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? Quote
kickn5k Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 They don't live out at Bendigo do they? Nah mate further south, in the Mornington peninsula area. Wow! just checked the lap records list, also spoke with him this arvo. He hasn't had the record since the late 90's(geez I'm getting old)!! Quote
