These alloy heads are like  hens teeth: I had to pay dear to get a good one complete with valves and springs but it adds authenticity to my SR and value too! There have been plenty of offers on ebay but most have issues with broken fins etc. The good ones can fetch silly money and I paid less than half the price asked by others. I was told by one engineering shop that they were seriously considering casting new ones.
