Contact these people by Telephone or better still e-mail.
Say exactly what you want. The Rolls Royce version was built under license and is a Continental O240. I've just had all items required to top overhaul an A75. Great service. The Company is 60+ years old and the proprietor, Robert Crispi is a very knowledgeable chap in his 80's. You can also pay by PayPal which speeds up the transaction.

I think that you will find that the 0-240 was a co-operation between Rolls and Continental them selves. It was made in the US and shipped to Crewe for development and later production. It is basically an 0-200 bottom end and the top end off an I0-360( Continental that is) therefore look for standard parts for that engine. There should be spares for that around.
