Hydraulic Followers/Tappets source

I've just got back from 2 weeks in the sun and picked up my nice, newly skimmed head.  Before going away I found a seller on e-bay with a few sets of hydraulic followers for a decent BIN price (?25), but didn't order them cos of the positie etc when I was away.  Now I'm back, I'm Bu99ered if I can find them again - foolishly I didn't watch them, and I cannot find them in my History.  They were found under something slightly different like 'Audi tappets'
As a complete long shot - does anyone else know of these, or more importantly of where I can get a set for a better price than the ?40 from GSF?

Right - Found them again!  Now just gotta check that my engine has hydraulic followers and not shims and buckets!  I'll ring the garage tomorrow…  for those interested

or look under seller 'trechii'.

Does anyone know if these will be the right ones if I have got hydraulic followers?  It's a 1989 1800Gti Cabbie?

Don't go buying them all before I get there!

Just checked and mine are hydraulic, so I'll get some on order.  I'll let you know what sort of quality they are when I get them.  Fingers crossed!

Just got em through the post - they're manufactured by FAI Autoparts -look fine.
It wouldn't surprise me if they are the same as the Ford ones - I'm sure they are identical to the AUDI 80 ones they have listed for about a quid cheaper!
