That would be a great idea if I lived in the States, freight to Australia would be prohibitive :D
I have read previous threads recommending Todd's rebuilds.
I'm assuming Todd lives in America?

Contact Keith at Henrys Model A Parts in Victoria. He should be able to source what you need. Shipping will be expensive but at least it's in Oz.

When one lives in other than the 48 States, one really has to ignore the freight and get on with it, whether it be OZ, NZ, SA, or AK. It's just the price we pay to live in the best places in the world.
 
When it comes to freight, PM me. I have sent stuff interstate before and have a good carrier. Good=cheap. They are very good (cheap) if you are able to do it depot to depot.
As for a block, Maybe try Fred Ruigrok (03) 9879 6981 email fruigrok@bigpond.com

Hi Synchro909; Good to be in contact with you again.
Thanks for the offer of freight info, may have to take you up on that.
Have given Fred a call and he will check what he has and will get back to me. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers, Chris.

One of those items I sent through that cheap carrier was to Lawrie in Gladstone. If you know him, he'll vouch, I'm sure.
The company goes by the interesting name of eGo. They have a website.
 
I have used eGo a few times after Synchro recommended them to me. They are very well priced. I would recommend them based on the good experiences I have had.
