Question for Jake re Aussie installer

Jake,
Do you have a recommended installer in the Sydney NSW area for the IMS retrofit to my 2001 S (which I assume will have a single row bearing)?

Or you could fly here for a free holiday & work on my car for a few weeks.

I have lots of friends in Australia and I'd love to make the trip..

I currently do not have any Australian installers, there have been a few shops that have done the work, but to date I haven't chosen one to be our partner..

Jake,
If you don't want to put their names on the forum, can you PM me a couple in the Sydney area please.
Thanks for your time.

I would also be more than interested in getting this information from either of you as my 2001 S now has 72,000Km on the clock and am not intending to sell soon - a definate keeper so I may as well have someone reputable to replace the bearing and install a new clutch at the same time.
Jake - looks like you going to get a working holiday in Sydney and then have to come up to sunny Queensland - I hope you drink beer........

I have a close friend in Queensland, I have been convincing him that he should focus more on the M96 Porsches more than the older cars that he works with now.. He came here last July and trained for a month.

I'd love to make the trip, perhaps we could get several owners together and I could borrow some shop space and do enough procedures at once to make it worth the trip for me ???

If that sort of thing is possible, I will happily send my car to QLD for you to work on. Then I can fly up & drive it home.

How many vehicles would you require to make this a viable proposition for you Jake?
