Question Valvetrain Organizer Trays

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know where I can buy valvetrain organizer trays in the UK? All of the ones I can find are from the US only and would prefer a UK supplier - This would be for a 16v I4 engine.

Here are some example of what I mean by a valvetrain organizer:







Cheers

I'm guessing from the lack of responses that most people don't bother organising their engine parts?!

I normally use a bit of cardboard. Never had any problems.

I never knew they even made them
Cardboard, and a screwdriver to make the holes to slide the valves or pushrods through. Oily finger to write an arrow for the front
Extra cardboard for buckets and shims etc
They do look nice though
