Automotive Technologies
Automotive Technologies of Australia Pty. Ltd. was incorporated in 1991 (after several years in business as a sole trader). A major part of the business involves importing quality automotive spare parts for the restoration and maintenance of vehicles of North American origin.
Initially, the business started importing windscreens and auto glass, then extended to body rubberware; emblems; lenses; original seat upholstery materials & carpets; body hardware; and now includes mechanical and electrical parts too. In fact, virtually any part that is presently available can probably be supplied for vehicles of North American origin built from 1949 to present day, with an emphasis on General Motors vehicles.
The need for such items was identified after the firm's founder, Leigh Grigg, experienced difficulty in obtaining quality parts from either Australia or USA while restoring one of his Chevrolets in the early 1980's. (Leigh has a reputation for undertaking a fastidious restoration, as close as possible to the way the factory made the vehicle). This led Leigh to investigate the best quality products available after dissatisfaction with much of what was supplied by some restoration parts suppliers at that time.
Leigh has over 30 years practical experience in the restoration and maintenance of his own vehicles covering every era from the 1920's to the present day. (The Grigg family owns over 2 dozen Chevrolet cars and trucks from 1925 to 1980's, several other cars and motor cycles, vintage tractors, and even an interest in old aeroplanes too). Leigh also worked as a Project Engineer in the Chassis Design section of General Motors-Holden in the early 1970's where he gained immense design and practical experience relevant to these vehicles.
During 2004, Arnold Millane joined Automotive Technologies as a partner and manager of the firm. Arnold has many years practical experience in restoring cars too, presently working on a mid 50’s Chevrolet. Arnold has over 25 years experience in the automotive parts industry, the last 17 of which he has specialized in parts for vehicles of North American origin, so he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help clients with their projects.
Automotive Technologies does not offer the cheap inferior parts which are available from some sources, but assures customers that only the finest quality parts, at reasonable cost, from over 20 different American companies, are supplied to ensure you have the best materials to assist you with the restoration or maintenance of your American vehicle. And, as a no-cost bonus Automotive Technologies can offer invaluable hints about the application and installation of most of the parts they supply.

Logitech G5 laser mouse
"Gamers are our hardest critics," said Logitech's Kate Brinks."People who buy our mice take them apart to take parts out or put in extra weight, and this voids the warranty."Logitech has tried to address some of these concerns by developing a mouse with its own weight-tuning internal system.The G5 laser mouse comes with 16 miniature weights, eight weighing 1.7 grams and eight weighing 4.5 grams.Eight of these can be placed inside the mouse to customise the weight and balance.Logitech hopes this will satisfy gamers who are looking for a mouse that feels exactly as they like.
