[C38] Australia hasn't the bits - options?

[William Knowles]

Suzanne members of the association get a good discount at Yacht power
products in Florida USA Phone 727-822-2628. Don't know if they have what you
need but give them a call or send letter (no web site) hope this helps. PS
did you know the universal engine is a kabota tractor engine may find those
parts down under.
