I am the Australian/New Zealander mentioned by Wetdog on 13th July (strangely my birthday). I have no knowledge of any new cases finding their way to Australia. In 1946 Excelsior sent 5 new 350 engines to New Zealand starting with engine number CXC158. If someone is making new cases, what main bearings do they intend using to replace Excelsior's unobtainable ones?
