I buy from either Minis Plus or Minisport SA, these 2 are cheapest I found.
1360 is 73.0mm, aka +.094" oversize. :wink:

Buy the pistons + rings before getting it bored. :wink:

[edit] for example only- Minis Plus' price may be cheaper, or not.
It's worth getting the chrome ring set for a road car, they last longer.

You can buy them direct from precision int now, They are the supplier in aus as far as I know. They will be able to get you the cheapest price.

Not going by their prices to the public I saw recently... :wink:
Minisport and Minis plus buy so many sets, Precision's recommended price goes out the window.

Just call em up. Seeing as they give the prices to Minisport and Minis plus they will be happy to match a price and pocket that nice retail margin. :wink:

no no no,,, just buy them through me,,, everyone should buy them through me,,, i would make it 'feel" like you`re getting a good deal,,, make you laught telling you jokes & storeys,,, you`d all "feel" better in that you`ve helped keep a local mini parts & service source open & all is peachy

i`d probly just buy them through Lindsay anyways because he would probably want a pile of my 1275 primary gear thrust washers or oil pump adaptor plates or gear-shift seal bushes so we`d do some kinda contra deal to save paying to much cash either way

& everyones happy

:-)
