Back in the late 80's I bought my cams and had dyno's thru Bert jones at Parramatta NSW
I know Bert closed up his shop in Church st and his son Russel opened up a dyno shop in granville but after that i never knew where he went.
Does anyone know if he still operates and if so where?

Yes it is, but not sure if they were actually family. Russell tends to only do boat mtrs now, I think the dyno is only an engine dyno aswell, the same as the one at John whites race engines at Wooloongabba.

AFAIK Bert Jones & Russell Jones are not in the same family.Back in the late 80's I bought my cams and had dyno's thru Bert jones at Parramatta NSW

Wayne Jones is Bert Jones' son. He took over the cam business from his father & is still in the industry.
