I've nothing 1.4 unless I end up with a 1.4 soon. There are lots of 1.4 engines that have been taken out for valver converions.

Christ I'd go mad if all my stuff was on the island, if you ever need a hand getting your stuff over just hola. My boot holds a lot more than you could imagine. The local mafia agree :340:

You got it Dai ;)

It's a boon really, it means I always make myself get more parts rather than using them out the store, so I still have a store to rely on!

I've got a 1.4 in the scrap pile and may be coming down to sheff in the next two weeks. I coud drop off the whole head then if it's any good to you, or post the collets when I find the time to strip them.
