i would have thought there was some suppliers over your side of the pond somewhere ?
let me know if you need anymore help with the winding side of things - remember dont try and make the spool of wire turn when your winding the pickup the wire will just break - i slide a rod in the centre of the wire spool and lay it horizontal and the wire just unwinds itself without the spool turnind - thats the biggest mistake people make
