I have been doing some window shopping for parts:
I will appreciate some comments or ideas of other sources, or experiences with the shops listed. (PM me if you have warnings!)

- I found a Lister agent not too far away from me that do deliveries at a reasonable cost, but the parts come at a heavy price premium...
- You probably all know http://www.stationaryengineparts.com/ in the UK. Nice website, plenty parts in stock and I got some decent advise from Steve. I have already imported a handfull of small items like the valve springs, valve stem caps, oils seals and so on from him. I have some items in my wishlist that I will soon order.
- In Australia I found http://www.oldtimerengines.com.au/. Way more parts available than what are on the website. Contact there is Craig, and as he pointed out to me, the shipping cost kills the purpose of the exercise. Same as with stationaryengineparts, only the smaller and lighter items are suitable for airmail. I am waiting for my final quote from him.
- Listeroid manufacturer http://lister-petter.devprecisionengineers.com/lister.htm in India is also busy quoting me. I got a quote from them previously and the stuff was dirt cheap... I never followed through with the exercise to determine the cost landed at my door, but that will now be done.
