Default seized engine, parts needed

Hi all, my 250s seized when my son was riding home from school on his last day of his final year, he got the clutch in real quick but the damage was allready done.
One of the balancer shaft bearing cages broke putting debris through the engine taking out the cylinder, balancer gear, cam gear on crank (which is part of the crank so crank is stuffed) and put one ball of the race through the crankcase (weldable).
So I'm in the market for a good crank, cylinder and piston, balancer gear so far, does anyone have some spares they want to sell?

Question, can a 300 waseco type liner be fitted to a 250 cylinder successfully?

I have a run in 2011 year model 250cc piston, rings, cylinder etc complete. I did 2000 KM and then fitted a big bore kit. Parts were all greased up and packed for storage. Shipping via air from Seychelles will cost about 30 Ausie dollars.
Make an offer if you need them.

Well its all back together and running sweet.
my son took it for a small shake down run this afternoon (20 miles) with me on his 1985 GSXR750 baby sitting behind dam I enjoyed that Gixxer its been 15 months since I have ridden one due to Knee replacements.
Thanks you to the members that sold me parts (thank Graham), I hope I never have one of these fail again.

My mate is rebuilding one of these at the moment. I can't wait to he is riding it again. A real classic.
