So all parts for sale open to offers before I photo and advertise on eBay

Thanks

Neil

Given they're knackered - how much would you want for all 6 air injectors? There's still a few of us running the 3 litre optimaxes (myself and Nasher, plus I know a few others). If even just one of the injectors is salvageable, it might get someone out of fix and avoid otherwise binning the motor.

Let me see if I can get them out. Engine is on its side now ready to go to scrap. I’ve taken off most of the parts with value but didn’t take the fuel rails off. I’ll see if I can get them out and see what state they are in

It’s 20” the gearbox works fine but it’s got outer corrosion and at the start of this year I couldn’t get the gear oil plugs out so gear oil not changed.

I’ve two laser 11 props. One in great condition no dings etc. one working fine but dinged. I kept it as a spare
