Try www.partsgateway.co.uk they search all the suppliers and scrap yards for parts. I am sure that a company called DA motors are breaking a Fiat 126 650cc Air cooled at the moment as I bought a Stub axle off of them recently.
Hope this helps.

Go the the axel gerstl online shop at

https://ssl.kundenserver.de/shop.fiat500126.de/indexa.htm

look under "oil suspension" and then under "sets of gaskets" you'll find complete gasket sets for all 126s there, for about ?15.00.

If you order online, the only difficulty people have is getting their postcode (zip code) accepted. It works fine if you don't put any spaces in.

I the AG is quite expensive for tuning - the italian dealers are cheaper, but Ruud in Holland is among the best, though he specialises in 500s.

without trying to state the obvious have you tried your local motor factors? often the can order these in fairly easily for you... its often worked for me (i used to work as a car restorer.....

Hi Paul,i've managed to get the gaskets etc,just need a head now! i thought it would be easy to find one,its proving a little difficult though. :?

as for motor factors,well,jersey is a great place to be if you like new potato's etc

,its not so good if your looking for any motor parts that are the least bit out of the ordinary!,i cannot even get parts for my '92 rangy from the local dealer!,s/hand parts are scarce as well,cars are scrapped for the slightest reason,starter motor probs etc,of the three local fiats we have,two were being scrapped because of starter /alternator probs, also,our local scrappy minces the cars as they come through the gate,nothing saved or kept,there were dozens of 126's here as hire cars,as well as all the privately owned ones,five left!
it all makes for a nice neat island with shiny new cars everywhere!
