Villiers 7/1 engine, Ransomes Mercury

Dear all

I'm looking at the Villiers 7/1 User Handbook to identify which parts are missing from my Ransomes Mercury. The mower has serial number 1300, so fairly early in the production run.

I sourced a recoil starter (2 pawl type) but need the parts on the flywheel that it engages with. P5 of the book shows a pulley (D11830), gauze assembly (DM2220) and bolt (25504). But also shown (on P6) is a starter cup and gauze. Could anyone confirm please if this is a separate alterative fitting, or if I need this too?  

If anyone has the required items for sale, or perhaps a full 7/1 engine or mower, that would be ideal and I'll add a wanted advert on the site.

Many thanks

Dave

Thanks for the tip, Paul can supply pulley and bolt and hopefully it will be possible to improvise the screen/distance piece.
