Magnet supplier in the UK?

[greengriff]

Does anyone here know where I can order the right sized magnets in all the right formulations (A2, A5, A8, C8 etc.) in the UK?

Here is a place with a variety of magnets: http://www.rockmonkeyguitars.com/humbucker_magnets.htm

Don't know anything about their reliability etc as I've never tried ordering from them, but seems worth a try.

Actually I was wondering what the difference was between the rough and polished magnets, and the long and short A5.

We are on not secure ground, but some say so:

Rough casts are not transfering in a even way like the old Paf magnets. Other say its just the looks.

Some say a shorter magnet (like the 60ies paf magnets) have lower ability to get charged with magnetic power = have lower gauss readings.
Some say its only a matter the amount of charging.

I have both rough casts and one shorter: the rough casts have lower magnetic force and i did not manage to do more (but this could also be a function of the material)

My short magnet is one of the strongest i possess!!

Ah ha, a magnet supplier in the uk, so far I've ordered mags from bareknuckle, who have not let me down so far, although they don't stock A8s.
