This is perhaps one of the ultimate long shots, but I can only try. I would like to lay my hands on a genuine Repco HighPower head to suit a grey motor.
I had agreed to purchase one two years back (and was happy with the agreed price), but the seller did not carry through the deal. I have been patient on the deal, though sadly it looks like the head has subsequently been stolen. I have no reason to doubt the seller, nor any wish to provide any more detail - he is a decent gentleman, and I wish to respect his privacy. Suffice to say that after a few years of trying, I can now draw a line under the deal and recognise it is not going to happen .
I had another lead on some parts, though sadly the info got to me a few days late and the seller had passed on the bits.
I know that the heads are being reproduced, but for now have my heart set on a genuine one. I figure I'll try that for another few years, and if it all comes to nothing I'll pursue a reproduction.
My intent is to use the head as part of my meth monster project. The head will see real service, not be turned into a museum relic.
I recognise that the heads are rare, and worth a pretty penny. I have a number of bits of grey motor go-fast gear that I would be willing to lay into the deal as part payment - Myers, Norman, CSC, SU etc.
Appreciate any leads.
Cheers,
Harv

Hey harv, not sure if you know about this one which was apparently being advertised at bakersville?

Sounds about what I am after. Does anyone have contacts for Peter Mather?

Managed to get hold of Peter today. Looks like this head sold, and went to Adelaide .
Still looking.

I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
