There was one listed on Ebay in the UK a couple of months ago that I don't think had any bids. It might be worth an email to see if he still has it. John

I think you'll strike it lucky Terry... looking at all that preservative grease, no one is going to want to have the job in cleaning all that off! It seems that most of the Long stroke parts are not bought up I've seen some parts go for next to nothing. The heads and barrels hardly seem to have any fins broken either.

Gday Muskrat and LJ yes it will take some work getting the preservative stuff off it. LJ there is still longstoke parts on ebay often but its post cost that is the killer. I do have a number of heads and barrels but they do need fin repairs here and there. I havent forgotten Muskrat you sent some its my shout when we meet one day.
This head on ebay is in OZ so post isn't too expensive hopefully I win it. I'm not going to pay too much though I can fix the fins fairly easily.
thanks
