Greetings,
My erstwhile sidecar racing partner, who is not a VOC member, has campaigned a Triumph outfit for many years and would dearly love to upgrade to a Vincent HRD powered unit.
The opportunity exists to to retro fit a Rapide or Shadow engine into his existing outfit, or better still to purchase a complete running outfit.
Complete outfits in race ready trim here in Australia are as common as "rocking horse droppings'.
I have attached the Australian rules for period 3 outfits, which is the class of competition the outfit must be eligible for.
Minor modifications to bring one inline with our rules are not a problem.
If you have an outfit for sale or know of one anywhere in the world, please contact me using the private email function of this forum.
Kind Regards,
Damian.
