Errol and Chis
I spoke with Import Advantage today, they have no 88mm in stock and only 2 x
87mm. They put me on to Harding European at Rocklea Qld who could not do
enough for me. Price for kit (entire stroker kit VW 1600 etc part number
211198088) is estimated around the $400 mark, they had none in stock but are
going to contact their suppliers. I will try and determine who their
supplier is Errol in case you want to deal straight with them.
If they can get them I will buy a set and forward the blurb. I will also
polish up the sleeves that come with the kit, weld in bases, and sell them
to you as flower vases. What else can I do with VW sleeves?
Regards
Brad
