Also, I have had several bits from Japan's answer to Ebay, its called Yahoo Auction, (http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp) the downside is, it's domestic to Japan only, and you will need a contact in Japan to bid for you and ship to you. I use FromJapan (http://www2.fromjapan.co.jp/en/). You have to register, and pay a deposit up front before you bid, there are handling charges and various fees involved, and the exchange rate is poor at the moment, but it has proved invaluable for soucing rare parts. FromJapan's site is quite easy to follow, and shippin, if you choose airmail, should see your items in the U.K. within about a week of paying for shipping. I'll be glad to help if I can, feel free to ask.
CHASSIS NUMBERS.
The chassis number for the Mklll Gamma is Pre-Fixed GJ21B, this is Suzuki's Model designation, the earlier Gammas being GJ21A. Research leads me to believe that G represents Multi Cylinder Road Sports, J means engine capacity between 200 and 249cc, 2 means 2 Stroke Twin, and 1represents that bikes place in sequence. B is model variation. (the A being the earlier Gamma)
Frame numbers from 104823 to 119051 will be either the G or FG model (where F means Full Fairing)
Frame numbers from 119052 to 119220 will be either the H or FH model
Frame numbers above 119221 will be CH or FCH derivatives
