Sorry, should have updated this sooner.

I found a PAIR in Jolly 'ol England, arranging delivery as we speak. If for some reason this does not pan out, I'll come back at ya.

Need to send a shout out and thank you to John Speake for his time and trouble in sourcing a set of these cam shafts. He got them in his hands last Saturday and shipped them on Monday. Had them in my hands on Friday.

Life saver, thanks a bunch John.

What price bracket were they in?

As far as I know, none of the camshafts are any more fragile than any other. Regardless of the engine type, the torque of the camshaft bolts needs to be checked at every service. If one backs off enough to allow the slightest movement of the cam sprocket, the camshaft will break before too long.

I'll leave Sean to tell you what he wants, but the cost of sending the 10kg for the two cams was $190 which was a significant part of the total price.

Glad I could help you out Sean !
