Spares
The Panther Owners Club has an extensive spares scheme, for members only and no email ordering. Overseas members should consult Sloper before placing any order. Spares cover:- Heavyweight Spares

- Cables & Chains
The club even remanufactures M100/M120 Cylinder Heads which have been getting increasingly
scarce as they tend to suffer from corrosion.
-
"The twin port heads are exactly as the originals,
but are fitted with hardened valve seats, said by some to be necessary for
the successful use of unleaded petrol, though I have yet to be convinced in
our low compression, slow revving engines. However the cost of fitting valve
seats at the machining stage is minimal compared to the price of the Heads,
so why not - The single port heads have the same finning as the twin ports,
and rather than just block up the other port, a proper job has been done and
the port removed and the fins continued round. The original single port
heads had larger finning at the back and front, but this would have meant
having another pattern made and been too
expensive."

The Panther Owners Club offers a variety of technical advice:- Technical specialists are available to answer queries on Panthers in general and Panther Villiers machines.
