I think you'd find that the postage cost from AU to USA is VASTLY different to the cost from USA to AU...

I recently took delivery of the cam & related parts from Keithdot in the US. He anticipated that I would forget a few things & threw them in anyway.
My offer was at the higher end of the suggested range & this was rejected as being too much, so a compromise was reached & a deal was done. This is what turned up

Open in new window






































The various bolts are a real bonus as everything for my A13 engine must be sourced separately since I am starting with nothing but a bare block & even little things like fasteners all add up to $$.

These are all parts that have been salvaged from new, unused engines, so while they technicly are not 'new' it's close enough for me.

Thank you very much Keith, you are a man amongst men.

The cardboard box they came in went up in flames in my woodburner an hour ago & I forgot to check the postage cost, but they came by sea mail, so the lowest available rate was achieved.

I expected an 8 to 10 week delivery, but it took only about 6 weeks which was fine with me. The cam will serve as a core but the journals & drive gears are still new.

Hi Keith.
Are you looking to sell any further parts or was this just a one off?
Cheers Simon

The eighth lifter made a break for freedom & was found hiding under the white cloth that everything is resting on, so no need to be alarmed, & thank you very much for the offer anyway.

Everything has been stashed away waiting for the day that I start on the engine, & believe me, I am looking forward to that day myself.
