<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Stephen</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Congrads on finding an FR2, she will or
already is a real classic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I own a FR4 which powers an old 32 ft motor
launch on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia ( actually the boat
is only the medium to carry the engine around), it is such a pleasure
to spend a day in the bay, in the marina she attracts no end of
interest with the distinctive thump of the engine during her weekly
run. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I have spent considerable time sourcing parts
for this FR4 and most of the time ends at a brick wall. I think as
mentioned the gentleman Peter Forbes would be the person to know. I do have
an FR6 in storage I obtained in Perth Australia some time ago ( from Ebay), this
engine is complete, my intention was to keep in storage and when absolutley
necessary use what I can for spare parts or vice versa change out with the
FR4. I found this engine after approx 4 years of searching.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I will keep you in mind while on the
parts trail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For interest sake what lubricating oil are you
planning to run your FR2 on. I am using a Penrite Classic Medium SAE
40 at present in the FR4. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Regards</FONT></DIV>
