Maplins no longer stock those super small neodyn magnets,they have so many uses for holding cowls in place etc and not affected by fuel.
Anyone know of an alternative source for these extreamly useful items,all leads followed ?.

I've been looking for some aswell, there is a company near me that uses loads of them and I know a couple of people that work there and I have asked them to get me some FOC, but I'm still waiting but I'm still hopefully one of them will come through
I would be interested in purchasing some Sonic if anything transpires,I cannot understand why Maplins dropped the most useful line they had for modellers.
I have the last pair here in front of me,they are called Magtrix connectors Part No.N51AK and measure 5 mm across.
Bar codenumber is 5038992000017 just in case you have a branch near you.

I work for an electrical wholesaler and we deal with a company called RS communications, they own Maplins I will have a look in there catalogue's tomorrow
I got it wrong it's not RS that own Maplins it's a company called Farnell or at least I think it is. Anyway it doesn't really matter who own's who here's there website and they have loads of magnets hopefully they will have the one's that you want

Hi, not sure about what size is 'small' but if you break open a hard disk drive, there's a magnet inside about 2 1/2" x 1" and is the strongest I've ever come across.
what about the magets used on the bottom of magnatex sclextric cars.
I recall having a car made by FLY taht would hold onto the track when it was upside down! (almost he he)
but I'm still hopefully one of them will come through
