Hi James It's great to see another Tassie member of the Forum. That means there are now 3 of us You've just increased our contribution by 50%. I hope you have some luck with the Al head. What possibility of having it welded? I wish I could find some for spares, as I have later models and no spare heads. I notice that you have 66 model Belletts, I thought they were cast iron heads. There will be others with more technical knowledge than me on this matter, but will the later model Al head fit the earlier block? One would hope so. Welcome and good luck with your search. YP

Hi James it seems like we've been doing lots of similar engine building stuff. I've sent you a Private Message with my mobile number.

Found! This is actually the head that was on Aunty Mary when I got her, but the gunk in the water jackets was causing her to run hot. So I had the spare head recoed, and its all sweet. Attachment:

Its the one at the back. The other one is a GT head for comparison. Attachment:

Plug side. So it will need a reco, but has been hardness tested and OK. But what to ask? Hmmm....how about.......Make me an offer I can't refuse! Let me know if you think its OK, Cheers, Matt.

YP Great to see the Tassie "club" growing! You blokes will have to crooze. YP, I reckon a lot of Florians donated their mechanics to Belletts years ago. I've even heard it said, "Florians? Pull the Motors & boxes out fer yer Bellett, then chuck em in Port Phillip bay for artificial reefs!" Sadly, possibly why Florians are so rare now...... Cheers, Matt.

Hi Matt I know in the scheme of things this is not a world changer but it is a big thing to me that you offered your only spare Florian head! Hats off to you budy - many thanks
Thanks also to all the other members - Bellett members are kings among men
Also thanks to the Isuzu Car Club of Australia
Cheers all James
