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.

Hello, just out of curiosity what happened to the old head. Regards smithskids.

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.
