manufacturing shut down in NZ and then came the flood of 2nd hand Jap imports, opened up a whole new selection of cars, some very cool, but did also bring a whole lot of sh1te as well.

Sad to say but the high AUD and strong, militant unions are killing manufacturing in Aus. I just don't think they realise what they are competing against..

No worries, thanks D. I will try to get it out from under you sometime soon, things are a little busy working away every week but hopefully it will calm down soon..

Worthless without pics!!

fairy or queen..

same same..

If it helps I am back and forwards between Port Fairy and Melb every week for the next year or so, if you find any can pick up on Sunday night and drop off on my way through..

I have a Warneford single sidedraught manifold that I am keeping for a little project but could be tempted to move it on..

Also have a single DHLA40 that I was going to use on it along with a std A15 cast exhaust manifold, would be a neat little upgrade for a std or mildly cammed A10/12 motor..

Certainly more $$ than a std assy but as you said the amount of torque it can handle plus placing the (pretty minimal) weight close to the center of the flywheel make it a very nice bit of kit..

Are there more street oriented options available as well?

What does something like that set one back Sikyne?

Have got a set here Andy, still on the axles but can pull them off if you can to wait a week or so..

$50 is what they owe me, will freight for free if you can pack up and send the last of the A15 stuff?

$200 NZD a corner on TradeMe, maybe they can ship them for you?
