Thanks Steve, but no use I'm afraid. Theirs are all modern stock where the curved pan head has a shallow radius
The ones I am trying to match have much 'fatter' plumped up heads.

If I can't find a source of original old stock I will have to use the modern equivalents, but I will make every effort first.

John, now very difficult to procure. I sold a heap of old stock I had to a guy restoring two Dennis Lorries (1908 and 1911).

With respect to finding something with a suitable head and cutting/welding to suit, have you tried the USA? you may then be able to weld 1/2 whit threaded bar onto the heads.
