Hi, I've listed on www.trademe.co.nz the above items. 447913409reference.

$400 (New Zealand) is the asking price.I tried for $500 but it did not sell at that price, I dont think there are many A7's in NZ!

The bores appear to have been honed and not used since then, but the bores are not perfect so they might need boring to plus 020. I would use them as they are, assuming they were the right size for a set of new pistons.

The head is not usable but is a fin doner for the barrel. The pistons may be usable, but I would not use them, they are original BSA

Now what can you buy for the A10?
Strange how prices go. Some parts that should fetch a good price don't and other parts that shouldn't go for ridiculous amounts.

Hi Muscrat. Yep whenever I need something the price is high and whenever I sell...you can guess the rest. The guy who bought the barrel was local and was pleased to find them after finding out his needed a rebore to plus 80.

I just might put the $$$ towards another 56 gf I know is for sale.......

I just spent a year looking for a b31 rigid rear wheel and it cost me $$$$$$$$ just for a knackered hub!
