Cylinder head sleeve nut needed (OZ)

Does anyone in Oz have a spare (good) cylinder head stud for an RZ?
We have a stripped one giving coolant pressurising issues. Prob is we have a special annual ride coming up soon and a UK order won't get here in time

We've found a stripped cylinder head sleeve nut (no.8) so this could well be the cause.
Has anybody in OZ got good spare head sleeve nut(s) handy?
We have an inlaws biker gang ride soon, and it'll be touch and go whether we'd get a replacement from the UK in time.
