Has anyone purchased a 1275 motor and gearbox from businesses like Brickworx etc lately?
What would be the availability? Price? and Quality?

Otherwise - and I know this should go in the wanted section but where could I get a 1275 + gearbox (manual) in almost virgin condition (preferably from someone who would put on a freight company 4 me) - if anyone has one for sale that is ing good condition???? (ie ready to bolt straight into a car) (Putt Putt needs a stronger heart)

Cheers Gerard

Freight it to where

and I will pay the freight costs - would not expect anyone other than me to pick up those costs - last freight comapny I called said that the engine had to be steam cleaned and packed somehow (possibly on a pallet)
Cheers Gerard

Wrap the engine in something (garbage bag, cardboard, etc) and put it on a pallet, one of the small cardboard pallets should be fine for a mini engine... It doesn't need to be steam cleaned if it's covered in something.. the friehgt company isn't allowed to look inside

ahhh good idea honk ta...

I know BMC here in Geelong has a 1275 and box that has just come in from England. Also a few sets of 8.4" discs.

Call Pete, and tell him Scott from ausmini sent you!

you also get suspension- last time i checked they were around $4500

this is definetly the way to go- save heaps in the long run, you get about $10,000 worth of stuff i believe.

cheers
