Hi Folks, one of my customers is doing a complete restoration of a Best 30 and has asked if i can find him some Decompression Taps and Primer Taps. He tells me they are the same as his 60 but i don't have part numbers for either. Anyone able to help wit the taps themselves or alternatively part numbers for each please.

Cheers

Dave

Converting the Australian dollar cost to $US can be challenging at times, but it is in the American favor still, I reckon the current exchange rate from the Bank is around $US0.64 buys $1.00 Australian, so the approximate cost in $US for the Decompression Tap p/n 311-A is $US135 each, plus shipping from Australia, while the Fuel Primer p/n 760-A are approximately $US170 each, plus shipping.

To contact Chapter 19 to buy parts, or find out shipping costs, email [email protected] On the Chapter 19 website there is a catalogue and prices in Australia dollars, of all the reproduction parts available, the list is extensive.

I'm not very bright around computers, so the link I have just attached quite possibly might not work, if that is the case, hopefully someone brighter than me will upload it.

Thanks

Although it might occasionally be difficult, converting Australian dollars to US dollars is still advantageous to Americans.
