Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from December 02 until April 30, 2014. Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual. I will always be available for contact by E-mail. If you phone your call will be addressed by Joe Wallace here and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.
