I have contacted loads of dealers/breakers etc. Sent Roger Upperton an email and talking to him tomorrow.

Reason for this update is that I've had an email from Suzukiusedspares.com. based at Elm, Wisbech. I guy called Nick (who is racing at santa Pod today) has said he does have some good heads and to call him tomorrow.

Anyone heard of him or has done business with them?

Cheers

yep, i concur. let the buyer beware. dont part wit your brass toll youve seen it. some folks idea of 'good condition' is very loosely based on fact. and as has been said, there is one name out there that has a bad reputation that has been well earned. i will look for a head in the shed, but i cant guarantee owt till im bck from my hols as ive just packed all my stuff away before i go. have you tried grumpy gary? he is steep with his prices, but fair, and if he says its a good head then it will be. iirc fbj knows him!

Thanks both.....phoning Roger 1st thing. Saw these heads john, wasn't sure if the 1100 et was a fit. Once spoken to Roger will have a couple of options to go for. Thanks for help. Jerry
