I have a Nev. Lush retard ign. Box for my H2, otherwise I would be using Jim's components. I DO have a set of Jim's chambers, which have been carefully put away for a while now!
Top Quality of course! Back then, Jim shipped them in halves due to postal regulations, but I was lucky enough to find a welder who joined them with welds of Jim's standard, after telling me he wasn't sure he could do as neat a job. And the price for the pipes was more than reasonable, too.
In all my searches Nevilles shop has never came up, I knew of him from Rick Roberts, as Rick had some stuff done by him many moons ago, I just assumed like alot of the guys from back then, had shut up shop, there is another guy here, Will Eales, he also rebuilds Ignitions, but I can never get hold of him and he never returns my emails, he even came to one of my Illawarra VJMC meetings and at the time didn't know he did this, he is in the Navy and works at the Navy base about an hour from me in Nowra.
