This post reminded me of a photo I took in 1976 when working for Handy Garden Machinery in Swindon. Yep, you’ve guessed it, it’s the shattered innards of an Aspera engine !

Big change from your avatar photo to present. Well done, would have been a shame if it had gone for scrap.

If you still have the sole plate just give me the hole centres for a start as that may rule out / give a glimmer of hope that any thing that I have may fit.
My guess is that Garfitts will be around the £35 mark.

Try Garfitts (OLC discount available. They will make to order.
If you can post or pm the dimensions – hole spacing and distance from front edge – and I’ll see what I have but not too hopeful.
