Macs prices are fairly mild, but their international shipping prices are huge. Anything bigger than a thimble coming into Australia, can expect an average of $60 or $70 for a box 2/3 the size of a shoebox.
I bought my electronic conversion kit via ebay. Purchase price much the same as Macs, and postage considerably cheaper. Its not just 12v available either, mine is 6v positive earth. Same branding as sold through Macs.

I have found that also with parcels from the Sates. They love taking really small items and putting them in really big boxes just to fill them up with lots and lots of foam pieces. Most of the time I am buying in breakable items that only need wrapping. Love to know how many cubic metres of foam and air each FedEx plane carries.

Well after accidently putting a hole in my radiator while trying to get the fan shroud out and a fair amount of cursing and that's because I thought I could just do the job on the carrier without taking much apart. (WRONG)
![]() 3/8" thick because the back of the crab dizzy is longer than the bell. The button extension in the picture above is not the correct part as you "WILL" need that spacer. They probably are available from the speed shops but I made a very basic one from a piece of 20mm plate. You learn something everyday. It will all be worth it at the end of the day! ![]() |

Hi Tony and thanks for the great information. I do in fact need the spacer as my engine is a pre42 model. The engines that I posted are just a photo of a couple of engines I have for parts. The carrier I'm upgrading has its original engine which does need the spacer.
I'm sure this thread will be an invaluable source of information for many in time to come. I've certainly learnt some future time saving lessons here. Colin. |
