Jeremy,
As I was born in North Yorkshire, I used to 'play' in jet mines as a
youngster, so could show you precisely where to obtain the 'stuff'
straight out of the ground! However, as this probably isn't too
practical (and I now live over 300 miles away!) try the following link
http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/ecolodge/25/jet.htm and check out
the 'workshops' link for the address of a current Jet workshop. Also
the owner of the initial web site may be able to help too.
Regards
Mike
