Can anyone help?

Post by mk1 »

I have had a mail from a forum member living in Chile who is in desperate need of a GOOD 1275 (non S) Engine block, he has suffered an engine failure & can't find a replacement block locally.

Can anyone (possibly in the States) help out on this one?

I am happy to put buyer & seller together & all expenses will be covered by the buyer.

If you can help out in any way it would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

Thanks,

Mark

Graham Reid at Heritage Garage, CA may well be able to help with this. He's at Mini Meet West this week - I'll ask him when he's back.

Much appreciated folks. The guy looking for the block works for a freight forwarders so transport is not a big problem, it's just a case of finding a good block.

Thanks,

Graham at Heritage Garage (Costa Mesa, California) thinks he can help with a good pre A+ 1275 block from amongst his mountain of spares. If still looking, he can be reached at minis@heritagegarage.com
