 Old mean mate of mine[mean because he wont spend part of his millions on a decent shed] was re-assembling a cylinder head off his BMW R69.US [ not a dirt bike but it also needs parts] He  dropped a valve collett down a crack in his verandah floor of his deralict house [which could benifit from a fire], said collet is lost in the fine dust of the ages.
 Point is he contacted a purveyor of spare parts for these famous 'radial twin' machines and was told 'certainly Sir we can supply that for you .
 Price for one valve collett only...wait for it 'that will be $70 plus postage Sir'.
 Needless to say my old friend who I suspect still has his first pay envelope still un-opened was taken aback!  Consequently that's one or more sales not likely for that WA Co.
 cheers pancho

What is the collet made from?
If its steel then ole mate can dangle a magnet down in the dust.

Otherwise give Canam 370 a tingle.
He would proably include postage ;D
