Google produces lots of sites but i am after business that have been used by fellow MLU members . I have the majority of parts i need but i have 8 flatheads now and six will need to be rebuilt over the next few years . The motor i am rebuilding at the moment needs a Carby kit and the dizzy needs a rebuild plus a set of head gaskets , the motor after that will need a new set of valve guides ,gaskets,rings ,valve seats,dizzy rebuild ,471 blower rebuild ,2 carb rebuild kits and various other bits and pieces .

Last motor i paid someone to rebuild was a 308 holden motor and it threw a rod through the block after 2 years i dont know if it was the builders fault or not so now i will do my own .

Bob can you pm me the number for the guy that was after my number the other week i have some seat springs for him but no contact number .

James
