OK I got several requests to bring back centre oil pickups from mini spares. :lol: Openned a can of worms!

Aaron and Makka both want one. So that's 3 already... I trust these 2 cause they are MCC people but if anyone else wants one they will have to pay me upfront. I think $60 is a fair price since it is $55.60 or something and I don't want to be short changed in case the exchange rate hikes up or something :wink: besides what's $4 between mates??

The deal is I am buying shite loads of stuff from mini spares so if I max out my luggage weight then no can do! My stuff takes priority!

Amongst this I will be trying to have a holiday :roll: :lol:

Cheers

Anton it's not hard to make one from 2 stockers, I've got one 1/2 finished you can have for nix.. remind me on Sat.
I'm getting lazy in my old age.. :wink:


how? :)

Basically you cut the 2 of them in different places and weld them together.
Wants to be a decent weld, either TIG or oxy.

Handy to have a new one to copy... :lol:

The little strainer on the end can be cut out of a Mini strainer, wrapped round the pipe and silver soldered on.

Finally- bolt it in, then braze a lug to the pipe to attach to the strainer mount lug in the box.

No, I'm not making any- it's easier & cheaper to bring them from UK!



no probs i like making things so ill give it a go :)

Have a good trip, I was over there about two years ago and had a great time. If you are going to Bath you should try to go to the National Motor museum at Beaulieu (near Southampton) and take a picnic!

Just a warning about posting things, You could stand in line in the post office to a couple of hours.

Just tape the COP's to your legs before you get on the plane! :lol:

That's probably another reason MiniSpares don't like posting stuff to Oz! :lol:

Everything happens and gets transacted at the post office - but the bigger ones sometimes have a business window.

I am on the verge of declaring a jihad on Minispares. I've made two calls to matt tonight and he hasn't been available either time, NOR has he returned the messages asking for him to return my calls :evil:
I ordered these parts very early April and they haven;t left yet, are out of stock or I don't no what! Very frustrating to deal with. Never get a straight answer or even an answer at all sometimes.

I just got my centre oil pickup from Minispares.$82 landed in Australia.
The only problem was their lack of correspondence.After an initial message saying they had recieved the order and would get back to me with a postage cost I heard nothing from them until 2 months latter when a package arrived. Another week and I would have got one from Karcraft and would have ended up with two.

30.60 Pounds + 12.00 Pounds shipping by packet post (I asked them). How long would you reckon that would take to get here?

Boats should all be sunk. Unless they are jetboats.
