Dave has had a serious medical condition so has not been contactable for a while.

No, he does not have a website.......yet.

These photos he sent to me when I was ordering some parts from him.

You will need to contact him via email.

The majority of Dave's parts are NOS and he still has a large range of parts that some of the other dealers do not have, that why I use him for the hard to get parts.

He's a great guy to deal with.
