A good starting point may be The New Imp Owners website ?
http://www.newimperial.co.uk/support.asp
They mention pistons, which is always a good sign.

Often, things like cables can be made up from universal types.
And gaskets can be hand cut - if not available.

Owners of long out of production bikes should be prepared for the possibility that things simply are not available, and may have to be made up specially to order. NEVER EVER throw away anything, even if totally worn out.

Think yourself lucky that you do not have the only example of the Spagforth Whippet Mk2 ??

James,

The NIOA is the place to start.

Things like gaskets and cables have to be made to suit, but neither are complex tasks.

After that, it depends on where in the world you are.
