Older sparky kernels?

I'm trying to compile tested sparky kernels for sparky bonsai. Is there any way to access older image and headers kernel files removed from repos? At the moment i'm looking for v 5.3.6 amd64. Packets aren't any more at the repos. Looked at archive.org, the last snapshot from sparky repos is at feb 2016. Is it possible to access those files?

Sorry, but I don't keep old kernels, there are too many, and take too much spaces.
If you tell me which one you need to keep at repos, for the Bonsai, I will.

Hello pavroo,
the idea was to provide an unstable still tested (by me and friends - there is no community for now) sparky kernel with the next bonsai release. I managed to repack an installed one (v5.3.6) with its headers and rebuild it with aufs modules for use with bonsai. I have installed the proper aufs-dkms package (thanx Fred for his great job: https://github.com/doglinux/busterdog/raw/master/NoRepo/aufs-dkms_5.3+20191215-1.1_all.deb) but i can't build the sparky kernel because of some missing modules. With the same procedure (included in the script https://github.com/doglinux/busterdog/raw/master/amd64/upgrade-kernel_0.0.9_all.deb) i managed to build a debian backports kernel (v5.3.9). So maybe it isn't possible with sparky kernels as aufs modules are not included in source.
