308 car parts

I get them from Ricambi America or Eurospares UK or QV London UK.

They have web sites if you google.

 

Any Aussie supplier will be more expensive than them after they put their mark up.

I don't know of any but better to get it overseas yourself.

 

try John Morrottie

 

Gerry at Forza 02-9801 5494.

 

Not always true. Many parts supplied by the companies you listed are actually cheaper here, in some cases they are manufactured here.

 

The BSM ignition,Black Stallion also make header tanks for the 308 and the sump baffle are some of the parts that are made here

 

OK give me the name and contact numbers so I can compare next time I am looking for parts

 

Sump Baffles, front skid plates, rear lower air scoop etc, talk to Gerry @ Forza as Ian suggested.
Good Luck

Just to revisit the topic of Aussie suppliers, I unwrapped my new Mille Miglia rear exhaust section today and thought I'd post a pic before painting it.

Mandrel bent corners, perfect TIG welding, every bracket in exactly the right place. Its beautifully made in Goulbourn NSW and half the price of the Italian or American alternatives.

I had this custom made without the rear mufflers. The tips are resonators to remove any drone, but its lighter than stock and should be nicely louder.

very nice.Made from?

 

so where's the pic, then?

 

I tried ringing Gerry to get one for the QV but he no answer

Obviously you are teachers pet

 

OR BUM BOY.

 

stainless steel.

The rest of the car will rot away but the exhaust will still be there.

 

He's just back from the US, organising parts and shipping for the Indy car. Huge backlog of Mustangs on the docks, waiting for container space to come to Aus then terrorise you on the Gold Coast.

We're hoping the car will get uploaded in January. Its costing a lot to have it stored in Long Beach, plus there is the risk of losing valuable and hard-to-get parts if a dock worker decided to souvenir anything.

 

mmm, I would prefer stainless mufflers and mild steel pipes.

 

MM use a heavy guage S/S so you don't get the "tinny" noise normally found with S/S pipes.

The rest of my system is in S/S, made in the UK and an exact copy of the original ANSA. Front mufflers are very fiddly with silly little bypass pipes that are very important for torque apparently.

Not needed on a 512BB of course :choke:

 

fair call, i remember RR cars once fitted with s/s pipes (muffllers always factory s/s) they had a un /tuned tinny sound.You will be choking when you try to keep up with a well sorted/grunting BB512 on carbs.

 

In between the usual mad rush at this time of year, I've managed to replace my front wheel bearings and overhaul the brake calipers, as well as powder coat the formerly very daggy brake shields. Front end is all new now. I'm not sure what the point is but it makes me happy.
