They are getting hard to find. Maybe the shop in Germany still has them. If you search for the information with the "search" function, you'll find the latest thread on this with the details.

I do believe I'm going to start stockpiling good heads I find, and pillage the prechambers out of all the bad ones...

Yes, sounds like a business opportunity !! Maybe you can throw up a web page / site with what you have on the shelf and how much you need for them.

well the prothe heads have new ones in them... so maybe find out where they are being made? could probably get them on the cheap.  i wonder if they're made out of the same material though...

Is it as common in europe to find products manufactured in China? Do they come by railroad through Russia/former USSR?

I might have a couple pre-chambers for a 1.6td
there is at least one that is cracked though.
