dave dix Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi, my latest project is getting costly as i have just pressed apart the big end to find the rod is ovaled and knackered. Anyone know where i can get a kit from or at the least a serviceable rod? cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne_weedon Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Sandifords were selling off rodkits for older Montesa's on ebay recently. May be worth checking with them Wayne.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigshineybike Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Another source is in France http://www.francetrialclassic.com/ If you get stuck Dave Renham at Bultaco Uk is starting to do a lot more Montesa stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belldane Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 You can also try Jared Bates at southwestmontesa.com. He is a great bloke to deal with and the prices are pretty reasonable. I have restored a number of old Montys over the years and have always been able to get the parts through him. If he does not have the parts he can source them elsewhere.
