And see the point of me asking the above question is for finding out information such as that Twin Cam (as i knew of it) no longer exists but is now Cam Automotive, a bloody handy piece of info when struggling for an engine part or something similar, the more resources the better.

during my project I used, Fjordfour, Autobarn (where i work) and Moorabbin auto spares.

Moorabbin auto spares is great, can get you any thing in pretty much a day, he got me heater hoses in 40min and a thermostat housing in 20. Great guy, and i get stuff at trade price there.

Default CAM is not Twin Cam!

"And see the point of me asking the above question is for finding out information such as that Twin Cam (as i knew of it) no longer exists but is now Cam Automotive, a bloody handy piece of info when struggling for an engine part or something similar, the more resources the better."
Sorry don't be confused, CAM Automotive and Colin are in no way connected with Twin Cam Services, they just happen to be in the same suburb.

well bugger me i stand humbly corrected, so there' s two places within Seaford which specialize in Escorts, Melbourne's Southern suburbs must be the Escort capital of Victoria or something, thanks for the heads up.
