Thanks for everyone's help, I think I have found a set.
Lee, I had a look at the cam and it has the CWC marking and it is new. What
does that tell me?

Hi again
what is the origin of your cam? Is it an original reground or a later CWC
casting. I'm asking this because use the lifters that are compatible with
the material of the cam.
