I am afraid I do not know where they came from but highly recommend them, they are exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully Paul and Mark can answer this question.
Cheers
Dean

The place were he got them is in his build thread. They are not cheap and only come in large quantities That's why he sold some off. May be worth a few people Chipping in to cut cost.

Not sure if they are available over here, not looked yet, but for what it would cost to post to me probably not worth the effort looking when we know these will fit.
Let me know how you get on and will confirm.
Can't see how many we have to buy or what the price is.

Some good progress over the weekend, we've worked at relocating the oil cooler. Cut original pipework We then went along to our local Pirtek workshop to evaluate our options. It was evaluated that silver soldering some 1/2" BSP fittings to our original pipe work ends would enable us to make up hoses with off the shelf BSP hydraulic fittings. The lad at Pirtek did a fantastic job. I haven't got the gear to be able to do this kind of work at home. Once we had the soldering work done, we were able to make up dummy hoses just using a bit of garden hose to establish the exact lengths of the new hoses. Returned to Pirtek and had the new hoses made up. Also been servicing the engine, including installing new heavy duty clutch springs Cooling system is just about finished now the alloy header tank has arrived.

Ha ha Aye Andy that would be one expensive coffee, you'd of been more than welcome to though. Been a good days production today, working hard to get the engine running now, cooling system finished, service finished, wiring temporarily test installed, this will be moved and permanently installed later as we move forward, fuel tanks prep'd for installation. Only to find at the end with all systems a go, that the oil pressure switch isn't working, gutted! First fire will have to wait until tomorrow after running out for a new switch. Getting excited for ignition, coolant going in Modifications to the bottom tank brackets, these are to hook under the chassis, these will stop the tanks trying to lift under hard braking. Note the rubber pads was to lean the tanks forward slightly for added clearance at the filler neck to the roll bar. Tanks in place, note the forward securing tab, tanks will be very easily installed or removed. temporary battery location, getting even closer to first fire Wiring loom extension run over to bike, we're not using the bike controls, so haven't removed them from the bike. Plugged in at moment for the start button, was when we turned the ignition on, we found the oil pressure switch problem. Light should illuminate until the engine runs, no light now, problem! Have also decided to go with the bike ignition barrel, along with the ford steering column one. The steering column one will only be steering lock. Have gone this route for added security, my experience of ford lock barrels is there pretty shite after a bit of use, so for an open top car, we're going with the Suzuki ignition barrel. Fingers crossed for first run of the engine in frame tomorrow.

A great day, ran down to west gate road in Newcastle this morning, no luck at the Suzuki dealers, oil pressure switch was going to take 3 days and cost over 30 quid. I desperately wanted one today, so I tried a breakers on the street. He had a box full of all kinds of switches and just told me to route through and see if I can recognise one. Luck would have it and 5 quid later, I had a used switch, fingers crossed a working one. Back home, quick check with a meter, result! In it goes and ignition check, lights on. Empty water bottle rigged up as fuel tank, levels check and we're ready for contact! Right now I've gotta figure out how to get the little video on here. Sound quality doesn't do it justice, it sounds awesome in the flesh!

Right just trying photbucket see if this works. First run was a success, coolant circulated well, oil level dropped after filling the cooler and engine sounded awesome. Sorry didn't get first turn over on video, not enough hands.
