Title: Wanted: A7ss alloy head (67-1122) or 67-1102
Post by: laneplodder on 19.01. 2019 18:29

Hi,

I am looking to purchase an A7ss alloy head (67-1122), to fit late 50's A7. Would also consider the twin carb version
(67-1102).

Either one, in great condition, with no fins damaged etc. Have other heads and a7/ 10 parts to swap if suitable for anyone else. But otherwise will pay reasonable money for a good head..

Many thanks,

Matt

Broken fin, but that is the essayist one to repair. Bit pricey but they are getting scarce.

Hi Guys,

Yes, saw this one the other day, but I'm afraid a bit on the pricey side for one still needing repair..Unfortunately missed a couple relatively recently, so I'm just keeping a constant lookout for any good ones going!

If anyone does have one or knows anyone who has one of these heads for sale, it would much appreciated and put to good use..

Also the price of A10 alloy heads are jumping further up and the 500's are getting bored out to match the 650's, like you say seemingly more difficult to find!!

Cheers,

Matt

G'day Matt.
Yes unfortunately the A7 heads are getting very hard to find. I'm guilty of fitting a modified 1102 onto my A10. I just got home from Goulburn swap and picked up an 1106. One broken fin and some detonation damage for $150AU = 84 quid.
Good luck with your hunt.
Cheers

Contact Sluggo on here he has lots of good A10 stuff, i got an A10 alloy head from him but he is in the US so be prepared for import duty, vat handling fees etc etc.

cheers

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info on that..I guess with only so many made and even less 'survivors' they're getting a bit thin on the ground...

I'll keep my eyes peeled (don't know if that will help though!)

Cheers again,

Matt

Hi Musky, there is a 67-1549 (Super rocket?) head here. only one broken fin (top front), but someone's gone a bit wild on the spark plug holes - Drilled out.
We could do that as a doner?? Au$110 plus post.
I'll give it a quick clean to inspect it, and then I'll throw it up on website for you to see pics if you like.

Please look at all pics.. the plug holes look nasty, but then again, some still may use/repair it.. That's the worst we have

Hi John,

Thanks you for the info on the head. Yes I was taking a look last night, but I'm afraid it's a bit too rich for my blood! Think it might be the cast head for now till we come across something cheaper!

Kind Regards,

Matt

Hi Matt,
I have a A7SS head (with only valve guides, no manifold) for sale.
Its been sitting around for some time.
Damage is a crack across the LH exhaust area where the valve springs sit. I don't know if it is reparable.
Are you interested, I can send over photos.
regards

Hi Andy, many thanks for the message, but we have now found a head..

Really sorry for the delay - have been MEGA busy and no time for a social life for some time!! If I hear anyone needing one, I'll pass this on..

Kind Regards, Matt
