Hi Mike

Yes, McDonalds is the best in Jo'burg.

But if you want someone who really knows what they're doing, then your only choice is Andreno VW Engine Rebuilders in Villiersdorp.

028 840 2087/1753. Speak to Andre or Arno.

Thanks fig.

Turns out now that I probably wont rebuild a spare.

Colleague has a Cali style upright type 4 conversion that he may be flogging to finance a rotary in his speedster.

If that is availabe I'll rather plunk down on that and keep the motor in my bus as a spare.
