I am heading out there tomorrow lunch time. (I am half way there when I am at work)

I need some stuff ASAP - I NEED to fit my motor next week!!!

I love going there to laugh at the prices they ask for their Mini's :lol:

I wonder what I will pay for a few gaskets and small bits?? :lol:

Mate what do you need, i will goto Karcraft and pick them up. I may even have them here. Just pop by on your way home and i will hand em over. Much easier and cheaper.

Cheers

Aaron

2 thermostat housing gaskets and a (second hand) 1098 harmonic balancer.

edit: I had a GF years ago who owned a BRG roundy purchased from there. I wasn't into mini's back then, but gee I remember smiling when cruising with her :D

Anton,
If you are buying a S/H balancer have a real good look at the rubber ring. Any cracking, leave it- go find another.
And check the keyway- if worn stepped, or cracked, ditto above.

Padstow Pirates had NEW ones for $75 not long ago. :wink:

I've got a block and tackle you can borrow if you need one Anton. I've also got the lifting bracket I made for mine at the start of the year. Give us a shout if you need it.
