Parts sources

Another question people ask is where can I find parts? This page will be changing regularly, I have added the information that I have on the old Gipsy site and will be adding more parts sources that I have used myself. The only parts source that specializes in Austin Gipsy parts is Gipsy spares in the Netherlands.

Gipsy engine parts

The list below shows the engine parts that I have found to be interchangeable with the Gipsy2.2L petrol engine and the Healey 100-4 206 Petrol engine. As you may already know, the Austin Gipsy 2.2 petrol engine is similar to the Austin Healey 100-4 engine. I have listed the engine parts and their respective original BMC part number. These are parts that I have used myself and found them to work

This video shows my installation of a Weber 34ich carb on my Gipsy. It really improved the fuel economy and low end torque. I have always rebuilt my original Zenith carbs but could never get the accelerator pump to work well as the piston is usually worn too much.

Looking for the rubber seal that goes around the glass in your WINDSCREEN FRAME? I searched every source on Vancouver Island, Vancouver, and then all over the internet trying to find something that would fit properly. The only source that I found is SCOTTS OLD AUTO RUBBER in AUSTRALIA here is the link to the page http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/AUSTIN%20GYPSY.htm  it is part number 218.011. It fits perfectly and is almost identical to the original rubber. Their main page is at  http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/catalogue.htm You need approx 2.2 meters per glass section.
