Westerbeke w20 parts

[CervezaE35]

So we just recently purchased or first sailboat and she's running a 76 westerbeke 20. The engine is healthy and runs great but needs some parts replaced problem is I can't seem to find parts for it. Like thermostat, for example, has proven to be impossible to find. I know many of these old diesels have parts that will cross fit from other engines but I was wondering if there was a dealer that would carry parts for it. what are the compatible engines? Thank you!

The Westerbeke 20 is actually a Bukh DV20ME. This is a source in the UK, BUKH Engine Spares - Marine Equipment Google may turn up others...

Thank you! That provides an excellent lead. I'll research hopefully I can find the parts now.
