Tappets are by Nason RHT7400 and can be had between 6-9 dollars each depending who you know.
GET THE TOOL! I have changed about 3-4 sets of GR lifters and I would never attempt it again without a tool.

Trace the below onto a 5 buck metal ruler from bunnings and happy times!!!

Agreed!
$30 bucks from Meek: http://www.meek.com.au/index.php?_a=pro ... uct_id=188
In combination with a magnet on a stick, its becomes a real simple job.
