The Search for the Elusive: A “Wanted” Exchange

Every restorer knows the frustration of being one single, unobtainable part away from finishing a project. This discussion serves as our centralized “Wanted” board, where members can broadcast their specific needs for rare components. Whether you are looking for a specific carburetor needle, a set of brass gaskets for a Lister engine, or a replacement head for a 1940s Fordson, post your requirements here with the machine’s model, serial number, and a photo of the missing part. To increase the chances of a match, provide as much technical detail as possible—including dimensions, thread pitches, or cross-referenced part numbers. This thread is also intended for members who might have “parts machines” sitting in their sheds; sometimes, the part you have been searching for for years is sitting in a fellow member’s scrap heap. Let’s encourage a culture of mutual support by helping each other get our machinery back into working order, one spare part at a time.
