I used to go there for small odds and ends... usually for shims. They would sell used for super cheap. I don't think there was a better large-displacement Kz specialist in the area.

I thought the the owner retired and the physical business shop was closed and the owner (Jim) just does some work on a if-he-feels-like-it basis. It looks like he is still doing an online business via email.

He has a extensive parts list online. It was last updated may 26. Still waiting for a response.

Drake, How did you get ahold of him.? Several e mails have gone unanswered and I don’t want to pester him.
