this is the only one minispares sell (with the three grooves)

http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=36774

does anyone know if that will be the wider one?

I have fitted and ground in my inlet valves and they are fine, but the exhaust valves are wider

Avonbar sell them.

I have only a few left now. I used to have loads - but over the years of helping folks out, I've basically 'given away' my stock (nearly). Those remaining are for keeps!
