With the advent of the Australia Post's  Australian post office in America you can now buy whatever you want in the States and Aus post will bring it back here for you! https://shopmate.auspost.com.au/our-services/how-shopmate-works
 
I just found this wrecker in the States that has a pretty big inventory with prices listed. He may even ship direct but I haven't ordered anything so have not asked...

Enjoy
Hopefully my find is not old mail.

I'm coming to terms with this frame this bike isn't going to be as good a restorer as I had hoped as it has a few small issues.

I pulled the rest of the bike down last week.

I had a go at repairing the seat base with a mate.

I've also ordered a  few more parts
Swingarm bushes
Throttle cable
Fork seals
Link kit
Reed kit
Engine Seal kit
Kick idle gear
Main bearings
I've cleaned up the plastics a bit more and had a good look at the frame now its all stripped down. It looks like its been welded up in the past... I'm thinking I will grind it back and neaten up the job as its a bit backyard.
I have more parts I need to order as well and I'm trying to finalize that one.
I'll have to pull down the forks and see if they need a bush kit as well. I'm thinking they will after seeing the poor condition of everything else.

Looks a heap better than mine
The small brace under the engine on mine is split.  I think I will get away with a tack on either side with my arc welder.   
Do you know the red paint code in auto paint codes ?

I was just about to suggest boat.net or partzilla as they list all bikes that use it.

Thanks!

I'm amazed how many new bits you can get for an old bike! I can buy almost everything brand new.

Yeah its nice when the parts are easy to get.
That might take some of the sport out of it for the guys doing the much older bikes?
Traversing the country to pick bits up would be  more and more dominant with the older bikes I would assume and part of the journey in restoring the bike.

After rummaging through I think no:
- barrel
- kick starter
- Front disc caliper, line or reservoir
- gear shift
- levers, cables, throttle assy

This guy might have some bits for you.

I cannot work out why you are putting it back together without fixing every thing....snip
And ps Kurt cobain was the man!!!!!!

I wanted to be certain as to what I need to replace.
I like pulling them apart
I have spark
I wont loose parts in my maze of a shed until I rebuild.

Man you are working quick!!!!!!!

The bottom end looks better than the top.

Your not wrong. The gearbox looks very good.
The barrel is at 57.5mm and I recon if I bore it to 58mm its last bore size
only 0.22-.25  mm will come off each side so I don't think it will get all the corrosion out of it with the pitting quite bad in few spots (in the top 30 mm of the barrel of course)
I'm looking at other options. No point spending $100 on a rebore to be told sorry its beyond repair.
 I'm considering sleeving as I can get a LA sleeve for about $100 delivered I think. I have access to a 20 ton press at work and a mech engineer in charge who wants to fit out his workshop to fix bikes cause he loves em too:)
I think I'll watch a few vids
I'm looking at options at this moment in time.
Other options include buying a s/h one off ebay from the states etc..
