The RRSL team see no benefit to members in adding to our catalogue spare parts that are already available from commercial suppliers. Please let us know if we are proposing a component that is already available elsewhere.

Later Period Petrol Filler Caps
These are the result of feedback when the early pattern filler caps became available again. A potential supplier has been identified and an enquiry sent.
Stock Replacement
The following items are flagged for re-order and we are seeking feedback from the membership on demand for these items. Sales records show that the majority of members are purchasing collet retained valves; we are unlikely to restock unless we get feedback that these parts are still required.
- 8E64: Peg Valve, 1 5/16″ (9hp, 12/6, 14/6 & 15/6)
- R64: Collet Valve, 1 3/8″ (12/4)
- R1169: Collet Valve, 1 9/16″ (12/4, Sprite inlet)
A number of members have express a view that these are still required. Initial indications are that these will be significantly more expensive than buying all the components to convert to collet-retained valves.
Storesman’s Report
Spares News was absent for the last issue, so a little more to catch up with this time. Thank you to the customers that wished me well and were patient with their orders, I am now running up to normal, fully recovered.
Coventry went well with a lot of interest in our stock that we brought along. Those customers that paid by Credit Card and would like their invoice and receipt, if you care to contact me I will gladly send you a copy. Next year we hope to be in a position whereby we can generate proper invoices on the day.
IMPORTANT:
The Stores will be closed for 1 week 14th to 22nd September, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
