Manitoba Delicites--want parts?

Hi there. I have a used motor; the bottom half threw a piston but at the time the top half was BRAND NEW--only 1,000 K on it. Glen sent me a different motor from Coombs, and I was going to drive the old motor to BC when I go there with my kids soon, but it occured to me it might be of use to someone here. I really don't know what's salvageable, but if someone here wants to take a look, maybe we could make a deal.

BTW, I had the new motor installed by Dustin at DNA (Don Near Anything) Motors in Headingley, and as near as I can tell he did a very good job and would be happy to work on more Delis. It's so hard to find mechanics here, I thought you'd like to know.

Well done Susan! :-D

That was one test of perseverance wasn't it!!! Really glad you dedided to keep your van instead of selling it when it was broken down. And with a group like this one there's always a way to figure the problems out...

Happy driving!
David

HEy Susan, thanks for the offer. I hope I don't ever need those parts... Cross my fingers. Thanks for the thought though, could save someone the shipping. It is great to have this community to look out for eachother. Take care...
