Gday again,
Unfortunately I've worked out what it's gonna cost to get my squareback roadworthy, and it looks like a new engine aint gonna be in the budget at
the moment. Sorry to muck you around but that counts me out for the case. I'm sure you wont have too many probs selling it though...looks good for
the price.
Cheers,
Steve

This is how it goes..... the ali cases are stronger than the mag cases... by a long shot! They are made by the same company as the mag cases but new
castings were made to eliminate any weaknesses from old mag case. The new tooling cost the company a mint, and the results are outstanding... bigger
webs inside and stronger overall!
