Karl! Is that really you?
Try Ashy I'm sure he still has a Gordon heed.
Ok,I will send him a message and see what he has.
Just sent him a message on FB now.
Have a search on this site. I managed to purchase a full Gordini Turbo Engine from Germany a few months back and it was cheaper than some of the heads and rockers that were for sale separately. https://www.leboncoin.fr/annonces/offres/ile_de_france/
Some parts here, with postage to UK.................

iMessages the guy I know, and he has a rocker assembly, but was keeping it for a spare. He is after a water pump pulley with the 3 holes in which might persuade him to part with the rocker.
The gordini followers are a different size to the gtt followers from memory.
Followers have been produced in the past by Newman Cams. I purchased a set when Andy Cooke had Newman produce a few sets, this was around 10 years ago, price was a lot less than Renault.
I sold all my Gordini turbo parts and new followers to Tony "Fish head" if he is still on here it might be worth a try.
Another excellent contact for Alpine or Cleon motor parts is JL Engineering based in London. (Look them up on facebook) They specialise in all classic Renault and have helped to source and provide parts for my Turbo 2. I know when i last spoke to John less than a week ago, he was having some Cam followers made in Germany as Renault no longer supply and the available items from France were not of very high quality.
He also has some very interesting builds ongoing that are worth a read
Cheers for the info http://www.renaultalpine.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7047
In work at the mo, wouldn't mind looking at the dimensions: GTT vs. Alpine/Dini followers
Rocker Assembley Sorted - Cheers Golden Fingers
Plugs and head bolts - Sorted
Just uprated springs and retainers to source/buy
Karl,
Any chance of a project thead?
An introduction would be a start!
Haha
That's the most progress in years KD!
Did you have any luck getting the bits you need?
Since doing a bit of work on a a Gordini engine, I'm going down that route myself and after some parts. Lol
