These come up on eBay from time to time. The link on the classifieds wont pick it up though. Search on XPAG.

You can also have yours built up and then ground back if it isnt cracked. It isnt cheap, but then neither is a replacement that you will know nothing about. At least you will know about yours.

I am fortunate in that I have a brand new NOS one in the original box and grease-wrap paper that I bought from a very reputable dealer at Beaulieu AutoJumble many years ago for over £100, but with 3 Ys it isnt for sale I am afraid!

Happy hunting, but I'd go the rebuild route. Done all the time over here - so if you get stuck you could mail it to me and we can get it done. Surface mail would be cheapest but takes about 8 weeks each way and 2 weeks for the work to be done.

Paul,
Thanks for the notification of the posting on ebay.
Just bought it and am now arranging the shipment, from Aus.
Kind Regards

Good job Roy - well done you!

At the risk of stating the obvious - surface mail will be your best bet. Get some tracking on it and full insurance and ensure it is well packed and marked very specifically for Customs - PARTS FOR VINTAGE CAR OF UK ORIGIN. PARTS ALSO OF UK ORIGIN and remember there does not have to be any correlation between the value for customs and any insured value (wink, wink)!!
