Yes Euan. Ian has quite a lot of NOS spares for the Wiles. Mostly four wheel parts but a fair bit is common to both 2 and 4. I know for sure that he had the parts book for the four wheeler. I don't know if it covered the two wheeler as well.
I know that Graeme Davies bought parts from him as did a couple of South Australians.

Default all fired up!

Last Sunday we cooked a fantastic roast in the wiles, I'm still trying to work out the steam side of the cooker. I figure if I pressure test the system with compressed air it should show up any leaks before I fire the boiler.
