Is there anywhere in Australia where I can
get some ignition parts for a Villiers 2 Stroke or do we need to go OS and import
them.

Peter,
What ignition parts are you after?

Bruce

I have a 1950s vintage Austral Villiers cylinder mower which I think has a 3G engine. I'm looking for an ignition coil and a condenser.
Also, the compression is poor so I wouldn't mid trying new piston rings.
Or, if someone had a long or short motor with good compression for sale, I'd be interested.
Does anyone have any parts at all?
I attach a photo if that helps.

You don't have to go overseas, I have bought parts through two places here

John, who is a member here runs Rustic Spares

http://www.rusticspares.com.au

And Steve who runs Villiers Parts

http://www.vaces.com.au/photos/villiers-parts/

He states on his website that he has some parts for 2G and 3G engines, I have bought rings and gaskets off John and ignition parts off Steve. You may get everything you need from just one of them or a bit from each. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Hello Paul

Thanks for that.
It has been noted for future replies.

I was not sure about that.
Sorry if I have offended anyone.

Offence not even considered :-)

Thanks very much Paul. That's terrific.

I'll let you know how I go. Could you see the photos I posted?

Thanks very much Jack. Great to hear from you. I also dropped in to see Ray Brammer on O'Hea St in Coburg (he's run his mower shop since 1960). Ray is going to have a look around to see if he has any parts as well.

Thanks for your comment too, it's good to hear you like the Austral Villiers. I like the fact that they were locally made when we were manufacturers in Australia, rather than consumers.

I'll let you know how I go.

All the best,
Fergus

Hi Fergus,
Can't see any photos mate, hope you find your parts.
