Hi All,
We are trying to re-build our A65 8F for our J3. Having stripped the original, in the logs from 1941, not much was close to meeting spec: casings, crank, cylinders, cam all failed. So we bought another two (supposedly) working engines and some other parts. We now have a lot of mixed parts (and some heavy paperweights) but we do have a crank, pistons and rods that are OK, casings that are OK and a brand new cam.
We are considering a new set of Millenium cylinders but have heard there are a few NOS ones about and we would also still consider a whole decent engine (A65 ideally or a C85) or even more parts, especially a good set of cylinders.
Other parts we are looking for: tail wires, cloth under seats, muffler and tail pipe plus their shrouds, slick mags, cream instruments, and or a black temp/oil press combined clock, tyres and inners (8x4).
We are hoping to build up a crate to join an ISO container leaving in a couple months.
Thanks
Richard
