Hi Ash,
         Welcome to a great hobby and great friends on this list and 
everywhere else you find engine people.

         The Lister D is still pretty easy to find parts for as it was a 
very popular engine with a production run starting about 1926 and going 
through to the sixties sometime. One of the longest ever production runs 
for a stationary engine.

         Your best bet is to find and join a club in your area - meet 
people and ask around for spares. Many people have a few D's lying around 
in the shed somewhere. At least that is the case here in South Africa - Aus 
may be different due to the number of engines like the Ronnie N that were 
built in Aus. and probably took a greater market share there than the Lister D.

         Also have a look at David Edgingtons books on the Lister D here:
<www.stationaryenginebooks.co.uk> all well worth the price.

Keep the revs up (or down)
