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.

It's bloody frustrating finding people in Australia to work on these old bikes, and when you do find someone they you dicked around for months and it costs a bloody fortune for everything.

I know the good ones are out there, but finding them is another story, and with the dollar the way it is against the greenback, it is still cheaper to get things from the USA, even with postage, although our dollar is good against the UK, there prices are over the top too for certain things :banghead

OK rant over.

Stop your whining, you flamin' drongo!
Nev. is pretty easy to get along with, seems to know what he is doing, and, believe me, is more than fair with prices. (I mean he doesn't have much control over parts prices).

I miss James Dewar, a really good and unusual rock singer.

Good one, Rod... great guitar and Hammond organ, and traditional stick grip to boot!
