Cylinder head cam caps

Anyone got any spare/redundant Z1 cam caps? And before you all lay into me, yes, I know they match the heads, but a bit of line-boring will put that right.

Jerry,
I've got a set that I think originally came from an ST. They're yours if you want 'em.

Sounded like a good question; I was under the impression this could not be done, however I am well aware my knowledge of zeds is negligible compared to some on here so I am very interested in how and if this can be done.

Thanks for all your help guys, Ginger, I'm not sure but the ST ones MAY be different, thanks for the offer, I'll try and twist Iain's arm first. As for how it's done, I use the motto "nothing is impossible". There's actually a fairly big tolerance on the caps, if you've got enough choice, trial and error sorts it out. At worst, build up the bearing land with weld and then line-bore back to standard. I need these caps for a head that is, unfortunately, irreplaceable and capless!
