Alan,

Try Tim Vibert at Empire Disposals and Sales, Wangaratta, kit would be same as a Ferret.

Other than that, in the UK, Banisters stock them, wjrbanister@btconnect.com

Did you know that there is a manual for the B40, B60, B80 (inclusive) motor available locally on CD?. If interested I will post contact details.
Cheers
Rich.

Hi,

B60 manual
 
Alan
talk to Bill Millar, oneoff@iprimus.com.au
The B40,B60, B80 manual is part of his very complete Austin Champ CD. Are there any shared components? I know the design is similar (ie unusual and complicated, only the Poms could design something fully waterproof...and still leak oil!)
Must have been a buzz to have it fire up...shed full of nice oily blue smoke?
Probably time for a few photos of it ...hint,hint
Cheers
Rich.

Everything appears to work ok transfercase/4wd/winch/compressor/etc
At least i can move it around now so it's back to restoring the blitz now.
