Hi XM, Superoo falcon spares in Perth have several acres of old heaps around their premises. They may have one in the corner somewhere. Google them for their site and drop em an e-mail.

Superoo have been fantastic in the renovation of my XP. Even their freight charges to the East Coast are reasonable.
