Push pull Ewharts fuel taps are available from various suppliers, try villiersparts.co.uk as they will also have some engine parts eg ignition system as well as fuel system. Throttle cables can be made to measure have a look at mototcycle parts suppliers eg Feked.com where you can buy inner and outer cable along with ferrules and end nipples which will need soldering on.
For other engine parts try Meetens
