[SEL] Moffat-Virtue 2 1/4hp

[Laurie]

Hi Ash,
Head gaskets were available from -
Automotive Surplus
34 Thornton Cres, Mitcham, VIC.
Ph 03 98733566
Fax 03 98741485

They might still have some, I haven't bought any there for nearly 10 years. 
I've got a reproduction owners manual for the Moffat that's got your name on 
it, send me your address and I'll post it out to you.

Regards,
Laurie in Melbourne.
