20.01.2022 Another Race Rocker cover for a good friend of ours, we like making them with a decent sized oil-drain at either-end , with breathers out of each one of those, i call it the "Love-Handles" , they work exreamly well (obviously) for both oil-drainage & crank-case-Breathing , purely for full-race , High-Reving engines... Painting is now done on it (with black-crinkle) so ill take some pics of the finished product, attached to the finished engine shortly for you all

19.01.2022 These are own own hi-lo's, the best best on the market (world wide) made for std road use, with correct diameter & radius,,, we make smaller-diam with sharper radius for a softer ride,,, & we make larger-diam with wider radius for race applications. We also male the rear extension rods with "sprung-pins".

03.01.2022 Hi all,,, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support in these wild & weired times, I figured our sales (everyones sales actually) would drop-off badly & quite quickly,,, but we are still going strong & more parts sales this last month than we would have thought, so thank you all so very very much for thinking of us when buying parts or servicing/upgrading your minis & mokes. we certainly have heaps n heaps n heaps of parts in stock for you & all ...this lock-down isolation times, (probably more than most mini shops across the country to be honest) so again i feel very humbled & honoured & privlaged that you are thinking of us & buying from us , its quite emotional to be honest , there are quite a lot of businesses closing down, people getting put-off work, not much money moving around but we are powering along & we don`t (at this stage) need to put any of our guys off work, even tho i`ve warned them (recently) that things may become quite different/difficult & if we can`t pay the rent or the wages (or both) then we would have to let them go , but currently we are going ok. But thats because of you people ringing & emailing & texting & facepoop msging "US" for your parts & work-needed,,, so massive thank you for your support of our little business, i cant thank you enough, cheers xoxoxoxoxoxo
