I was about to click "order" on the Mikes XS site when I noted the shipping to AUS is $33. As the valve is only $18 I was a bit put off.
Does anyone here in Oz know of a local supplier or was anyone able to get one here cheaper??

Cheers

Let me know if you find them in Aus otherwise perhaps we could split postage between a few of us?
I know a couple fellas in Brisbane that want one including me.
I would suggest plotting all postage local and international
$3.75 Aus post + 16.50 is still cheaper for 2 units
$4.33 Aus + 11 international cheaper again for 3 units
$4.90 + 8.75 for 4 units etc etc
$18 Cost of valve obviously on top of postage
 
Those of you far away and subject to the "fun" of dealing with government customs officers might want to look into other sources for reed valves.

For example a plate (with added port) attached to the reed used for a common GSXR 600 Suzuki could work (might not be a good match for size, should probably see one in person).

A US Ebay link (with pics) to what I'm suggesting is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330713146910?hlp=false

There must be other sorts of adaptable reed valves in the local market.
 
Its a Kubota tractor part. Try contacting a dealer who may be able to narrow down which machine it is for.
