As part of my "finding things" for my "new friend" I found myself in need of valve stem seals - needless to say NLA from Volvo. Looking for head sets I repeatedly found "sold me last one months ago" but I have come across the following:-
www.karengine.co.uk contact Grahame on 01271 345614 or sales@karengine .co.uk who stock all sorts of goodies supplied through their sister co. www.ultrapartsltd,co.uk phone 01271 379094 e-mail sales @ultrapartsltd.co.uk (Graeme is again the guy - he can be reached on either no./e-mail.
They have a good stock of 300 parts at "clearance" prices. eg:- (all B14 parts)
part no. UDH694, head set, x1 £10.00 additional sets £7.50 each.
part no. UJB851, manifold gasket, £2.00
part no. UHR301, valve stem seals, £0.35 each.
part no. TK25, timing chain set inc. tensioner/gasket/front oil seal, £12.50.
I have (of course) purchased a small stock and they seem to be of perfectly good quality - I shall use a head set soon and will report.
Mac spending the housekeeping,

chain set,

stem seals,

Grahame has promised to e-mail me with a full list and prices of 300 stock (when he gets a chance) and I will post here when I get it.
Mac.
