A quick look in the parts book and it would appear valves are the same, inlet EM 1169 exhaust EM 1071. Cylinder heads have different numbers by the look of it, although not clear.

You can make throttle cables etc using parts from motorcycle parts suppliers, I have used Feked.com in the past. The Mower Centre in Hailsham may be able to do this for you.
The only source of tines is from a scrap machine, which type do you need?
You may be able to get carb and exhaust from Villiersparts.
