      Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from December 04, 2021 until April 30, 2022.  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 Steven and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.  

Cheers,
