Hi all,

Just joined membership. So here is my intro:
My name is David, hence my user of davidno64. I live in Melbourne Australia. By trade an electronics engineer. But you can consider me retired at the moment. Due to injury and a decade long battle with the corrupt WorkCover system we have and worse inshurance company. General interests of course are family first, followed my Bikes, Cars, Music...

Current vehicles are Triumph motorcycle, Yamaha motorcycle, VW Golf, Audi A6 and finally the beast. 1988 Jaguar XJS!

PS: Currently restoring/modifying Jaguar XJS. V12 model, being converted to a manual transmission plus other mods. Currently I am trying to locate a set of Stainless Steel Extractors.

***Can anyone point me in the right direction, where to buy?
Has anyone dealt with V12Sales? as they list a set. Are they any good and what is the integrity of the company.
As I have not delt with them before, are they a reputable company.
(Thair WEB page is less than optimal. Searching for a history, I found a company; V12 Sales****, probly another company. Selling cars with a bad reputation, etc).
Is this another company, totally unrelated or should I keep clear ???
