[Spridgets] FW: Engine dilemma??

[Michael MacLean]

I bought a pair of H6s for my BN2 Le Mans restoration from them for half what
the catalogs want from them.  Had to wait over 3 months for them due to parts
supply problems on their part.  The wait was worth it.  They are almost too
pretty to put on the car.  If you do order from them, make sure you download
Skype because you will be on the phone to England for several phone calls to
check on the progress of your carbs.  Mine were assigned to one guy at the
factory.  The customer service rep that answered the phone always had to
consult with my assembler about the progress of the build.  Since the car was
far from restored (still is) waiting was not a problem.  Not the way to go if
you have no patience though.

Yes, Burlen sells new ones for $612.65 for the pair.  You DO NOT pay the
UK's 20 VAT tax, and there are no import duties. (http://www.burlen.co.uk/ )
They will also restore your old SU's, good as new, no tax or duties.

Burlen bought the old Skinners Union company, lock stock and barrel.  I
swear, when I was given a tour and saw some of the little old workers in
white shirt, tie and smocks, as well as the original tooling, I had to think
they have original SU employees to boot.
