    Hello,
    I Need help!
    I live in Qld/Brisbane and just purchased my own T401 with an M11 plus engine, that needs an inframe kit, Does anyone know were is the best place to go for parts? (I have already been to Cummins, Brown and Hurley & QLD diesel) so far the cheapest quote is $4,100.00 for the kit.

    Owner Driver advice - also can someone PLEASE give me some sound advice on rates that I should be looking at (km rates and hourly rates) I don,t have a trailer just the prime mover (50Tgvm),

    ANY advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Regards DAve :wav:

    You certianly picked a bad time to move into O/O..

    $4K for the kit sounds good, but what was the labour on it?

    rates, as low as $50/ per hr, and per klms, start from $1.10...

    Yeh, all gone from around where I am, but the ground is still fairly wet, just getting showers pretty much every night tho, hot as through the day.
