[QUOTE="IrvingFan, post: 8290, member: 751"] 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.
