Hi, probably best to try Bryan at club spares as he is likely to have these parts. A new petrol tank will fit the space and has a bigger capacity.

Hi, I have already tried Bryan. He is on the case and is looking into what he has available. However, I thought I would throw it out there to see if there is anyone else who may have the parts I am looking for. If they are near or in the south wales area that would be fantastic. :)

The old head has a 'timesert' in plug hole number 1. I also had a water leak on the top water house last summer and it has dripped down the side of the engine and caused the manifold to rust quite extensively. I have the head off at the moment and would like to do all the jobs in one go if I can find the parts... which seems to be getting harder as each year passes.
