I am assuming you already know that GPX tappets are adjustable, so you dont need to change them.
If you really need to change it, contact Kempys from NZ,

ok dood
to adjust the tappet there is a plastic screw on the top...this can break off...so assuming this is attached u r ok. Most mechanics have no idea wrt FTO tappets - your in melb ? Take it to Lee he will fix it up..

arh then I trust the answer. Lee is the man. that is what he is talking about the plastic screw bit on the top is broken and he cant adjust it...I think that means u need new ones...new tappets that is.

Nihon parts in QLD or Kempys in NZ would be the best bet
