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.

Exhaust Manifold
Petrol Tank

Many Thanks,

Karl.

Hi,

If you see any others please let me know.

Many Thanks, Karl.

Thanks for getting back to me anyway. Cheers Karl.

Please can someone help.
