Just got an email from Frank saying my box of parts came back to him.  Seems the heavy rain in QLD managed to run the ink from the texta he wrote my address with.  Damn lucky the return address didn’t get smudged too, or it would have been lost forever.  The box suffered some damage and the carby top must have fallen out and has disappeared, so Frank is looking for another one for me and will send it later, which will slow down my carby rebuild process (provided I actually get myself a rebuild kit some time soon)
