ebay sale?

[Harrygsi]

Anyone dealt with these people? I notice they are new to ebay. This looks a good price for a new engine:-

I am interested in the exhaust they have for sale....

there were issues with them - parts not for 260's and delivery etc. Andy G was going to send the boys round

I bought a Lower Arm & Anti-roll Bar link from them - no real promblems - response time was approx 1 week before I was in receipt of goods.

I notice in the picture that the engine does not have the inlet manifold set up. The ex MGRover stock item that I bought from MacTech came with everything set up. The one they previously gave me without all the manifolding proved to be an MGRover faulty return item.

I am not saying that this is the case here but worth checking.

Hi I brought a gear box from these people seemed nice enough the box was advertised as for a 260 but when I received it it was clearly not. It was for a cable clutch Mustang and the 5th gear ratios were not the MG set up, and the gear box date stamp was 2001 clearly well before production of the 260's. Nick at Austin said there was too much work involved with making the Mustang unit fit so we used the good bits from mine and rebuilt with bits from the other unit. clearly not satisfactory, as I paid £800 for the box then had to pay Nick for a rebuild (although Nick did keep the costs to a minimum. The upshot is I don't think this chap knows the differences between Mustang and MG., although I do believe that he understood that what he was buying when he acquired the units they were genuine 260 parts. I am at the moment in talks with him re some cost to wards the rebuild. We will see.:rolleyes: Martin

Hmmmm! some issues here. Not in urgent need of anything but........who knows what might NOT be about when you do need it?

Thanks for comments guys.

I've had a couple of bits from them, no issues other than maybe time to ship, I think AndyG will have a few words to say on this issue as he met with the guys there and helped them identify MG vs non MG bits

Mine from MacTech exactly as Martin said. Wrapped in a plastic bag on the original wooden pallet, fully dressed, only needed the exhaust manifolds swapped.

Just for future reference - do you have contact details for MacTech - tried Google but no luck

Hello Martin, GT Racing are advertising ZT 260 Gearboxes again - I'm assuming that they are the Mustang type that you got caught out on (Chris from GTR has told me that it is a TR 3650-6 box, but I'm guessing that this is the non MG adapted version). Did you get anywhere with them in sorting your troubles out? Regards, Tony.

The TR3650-6 should be the ZT one. There is a sticky on here somewhere regarding the Tremec.

I'd have thought the -6 referred to 6 speed? Bit misleading if it doesn't!
