Thread: Series II engine strip down

Repco would be the absolute last place I would be getting parts from - might as well as get them from Supercrap.

Repco - poor service, expensive, rarely have what you want and if you order parts they should have in stock you get charged a delivery fee as well.

You can do better.

We must be very lucky with our Repco in Murwillumbah, Garry.
Quite the opposite.

as for the plug, it was a fine example of a bush mechanic keeping something going i would say

Try All Fours 4x4 at Kotara outside Newcastle. His online shop seems to have a lot of old series parts for rebuilds

Watching this with much anticipation as I am about to embark on a 2-1/4 rebuild myself. I find the Repco stores a bit hit and miss here on the Goldie, but with M/Bah, I think if it is owned by a local in a smaller town, there is a lot more customer service than in larger cities. I find the one near my parents place in Sydney live up to their Rip Every Poor Customer Off reputation, whenever I get dragged into fixing a car down there. The one near me once tried to charge me $48 for a uni joint for my 2a, Said he had 8 of them as NOS, but ended up paying $28 each after a bit of "Your kidding aren't you, a uni joint is not $48". He then tried to sell me all 8 as he didn't want them.

Hi whitehillbilly

I know Macca well, I wasn't his best man but I was at the wedding.
Know the outdoor centre, helped them with some air cond requirements
a few yrs ago. M/Bah is a small place isnt it, as you say, everyone knows everyone.
I worked in Tweed for about 17 yrs and know the whole area very well. Beautiful
part of the world down there.
Regards Ian

Repco Currumbin is excellent, it's not a lolly shop, and, I have also had good results with Murbah.

havent done much other than pour my mix down the bores of late
