RE; Head.
Seems these are $500 in the UK but only $100 here in the USA. :shock:
If I were smarter I would find some cheap US to UK shipping. :roll:

Both are uncut.
Still need to clean them and check for cracks.
As I recall these are not so prone to cracking as the bigger valve "Cooper S" heads.

EDIT; OK, gave them a bit of cleaning and both look fine, no sign of cracking.
One had a bad #4 exhaust valve but the seat looks good.
If you are using this for racing you will be reworking them anyway.
What is your offer?


Could you do $50 plus shipping to 15222? No cracks and not cut much are the biggies - not a problem if it needs exhaust seats.

There is another head I need to pick up and see what number it is, not the same as these.
Want to build a 1098 for the Morris Minor.

Including wheels?
Have lots of Wire "Wheels", but truly GOOD wheels are harder.
Pretty certain I can put together a set with good rims, spokes, and splines.
Have two wrecked Midgets to take everything else from.
Your offer?

Ah, seems a bit light, how about $75.00?
They pay silly money for these in Europe.
Enough to make shipping sensible!

Wisconsin, funny, another guy from WI wants my GT6 frame.
Wonder if they could be combined, how big is WI?
Needs to go to the YRC freight dock, terminal to terminal.

Need to remove tires from the wheels, tires are no good but would add to cost.
Have to get everything ready and crated in order to get an accurate quote.

Complete rear axle $150.
The rear diff alone is worth that.
Front suspension, $100.
Four wheels and knock-on nuts, $100
No charge for my time in removing the parts.

I am semi-guessing around $300 shipping.
Might be less, I've shipped engines and trans similar distance for under $200.
But an axle is longer. Wheels are also a bit bulky.

OK, I will have access to a forklift for a couple of days next week.
Makes stripping the WW Midget easier.
Once parts are off I will be able to work on a shipping quote.

And today I realized that one of the Wire Wheel cars I have is a rare Round Wheel Arch car so should be put back together, stock or modified, rather than just parted out.
Less than 30K miles on the roller.
I think I can put together enough front sheetmetal to make it pretty much complete.
Hope to get more pics in the morning, cannot get what I have transferred from the flip-phone.
