Bill,
There are specialist Spridget breakers who buy up scrap Spridgets and then
sell the bits. You can get a 1500 twin HS4 manifold for anything from #25 -
40 and unlike us won't have to pay 17.5% tax on top of that. I don't know
how much carbs go for.
Some Spridget stuff does become sought after and commands a premium
secondhand (eg: hook type quarter light latches) or isn't available at all
(eg: 1275 flywheels at one time).
The stuff that tends to get cubed are the Metro's, Marinas & Itals, hence the
in-line A-series blocks (including in-line A+), HIF44 carbs and stuff has
varying availability depending on where you live. For example, one of my
local yards no longer holds any car that is older than 10 years.
