Thx for the return post Norm but I managed to source one from High Wycombe Lawnmower Repairs. I paid $ 45.00 for it (excluding postage) so probably a bit on the expensive side but at least I got it and it was in good condition.
Thx Norm, appreciate the warm reply. Guess I should have waited for a reply from Forum members before rushing to make the purchase. ... Patience is a virtue, pit I'm short on it.
