I have seen the 100 head from Webcon, my brother bought one for his 100, 
and it will be fitted when his car returns from it's journey to the 
rally in Scotland. The quality looks excellent. It's hard to imagine 
there are that many sets of patterns out there for 100 heads, so perhaps 
the same head from many resellers? Does anyone know? The head has fully 
machined combustion chambers, thicknesses of the casting all seem fine, 
so it's hard to imagine there will be any problems
Cheers
