AJS Parts required

Hello, can anyone help with any surplus cylinder head bits for a SOBB?
Mainly hairpin valve springs, caps and collets for a late forties AJS model
18, that's a 500cc single along with rocker gear, oil feed pipe to same and
regulator screw and locknut. I've been looking for these for quite a while
but without much success. There used to be truckloads of this stuff about,
but seemingly not any more. Or even just the springs and caps would do, I
could make the rest. And also one of those electronic regulators for an old
6v dynamo, or does anyone know the best place to get one?

I'd have thought this sort of stuff was quite easily available. Try the
owners club for starters.

Now these are available brand new, a direct copy of the original.There
is also a solid state version around, available in 6 or 12v.

I should have expected an answer like that, it's just that I would prefer
old material and tried and tested parts rather than some of the crap pattern
stuff that's available now (I did say 'some', not all).

It was the solid state one that I was thinking of, (this, a case of modern
being more reliable (maybe))?

Anyway, thanks, Oily

Paul Goff is the fellow.

That's where I had mine from - he's at most of the classic bike shows.
