Welcome Gata! Not much to offer about where to buy A10 or A7 in Indonesia, but they were shipped all over the world. I imagine there is something wrecked or rotted laying about somewhere that could use your careful and, it seems, very expereinced attention. You might even find something in good shape. good luck.

Thank you Richard for your welcome.
I actually want to build a BSA A10 from abroad. It's hard to find A10 here, but we have many B31 and M20 here. We are hard to import old bike to Indonesia because of expensive tax. Tax is about US $5000  It is more easy to import new bike from abroad. So i must import the part of the bike one by one in one year.  ;). If i import the part in one time, our tax officer will hold it.
If i start to build the bike now, maybe i can ride that bike next august 2012.  *work*
Next time i will need many guide about build A7orA10 from you Richard.
Thank you.

G'day Gata, welcome to the forum.
                                               wow that's a heavy tax to bring in an old bike. So bit by bit is a good idea, but freight cost that way could be expensive too. Keep looking local but lots of countries close by that should have the odd A7/10 lying around.
 We have a couple of forum members over in India as well.
Cheers and happy hunting.
