Still looking at the potential for NOS for the SC though. The carb to supercharger plate is already drilled and tapped 1/8 npt for a single fogger nozzle. I got very close to spraying it, but I burned a piston not long before I was going to, and decided I was getting over building new engines. I me...

Have you got a picture of the rusted ones? Otherwise would be keen on a Jap one with satin finish. How much to ship to christchurch. Could you do a keychain with a rotary symbol?
