 That's what you call building an engine "from the oil pan up".

i followed the story on Do The Ton forum of a guy in england that built a Vincent from 1 piston that had seen many years fine service as an ashtray in someone's garage

 The Harley legend is the restoration that started with the oil stain on the floor. L0L!

Gaskets are in the box, but underneath. You will have to flip the box open.

Terry very kindly put me onto a FB ad for one up past Sydney somewhere, $700 inc post ( about $450ish US ) and hence another problem sorted on the chopper, I can get rid of the arse ugly oil tank and battery box, I'll replace it with an electrics tray mounted up flush under the seat with a small battery laid down on its back. As with the dirt bike it'll be kick only

Does a shop up past Sydney act as a dealer for the Sumpthing ?

As in; You want go become a reseller? Don’t understand your question completely.

I asked because I was curious if you had a dealer/seller who offered your product for sale in Australia?
Do they only come direct from you ?

Do your BEST...nobody can take that away from you.

it seems terry will be starting on the engine for the dirtbike this week, so the engine that is currently in the dirt bike frame will come out and make its way , in due course, to the chopper and have the sumpthing stuck to it on the way

Ah gotcha.
Currently the kits can only be bought directly from me or from Sane Motion Moto in Canada.
I do not have a reseller in Australia but i’d love to get one there.
