[TR] Buying Parts From England?

[Tony Drews]

Jerry, interesting / excellent idea!  I'll bet I'll meet up with some of 
my Canadian friends in June at Mosport...  Might be worth stocking up on 
3 years worth of consumables that are only available from England...


Unless someone knows of a domestic source for the magical head gasket 
that Racetorations carries:

https://www.racetorations.co.uk/product/composite-cylinder-head-gasket-tr2-4a/


Trying that instead of the Cometic this year - Cometic has round fire 
rings so you need to buy oversize to clear intake valve pocket.  The 
Racetorations one has fire rings but has the mickey mouse ear shape to 
match the head.


Cheers, Tony
