The two magnet suppliers
Both are very popular in motor builders circles, both have excellent service:
http://www.supermagnete.ch (Switzerland)
http://www.engconcepts.net (USA)

Ordering from Mr. George in the USA is no problem in this case, and not expensive. See:

Do a search for ".it" and you'll find more messages from Italian group members (37 today). In the photos section you'll find pictures of motors made by Carmello Brutanitti, FraT (a.k.a ranabatics, Francesco Tommasini), Matteo Gallizia, Max Ferra (Massimo Ferraresso), R.Grassi (Roberto). The photos section used to be public but *&!^%$#!! Yahoo made it *&^%$!!%$#! (censored ;)) private
Don't worry about getting spam messages, when subscribing via the homepage, you can turn off Yahoo advertisement and info messages. The other messages (viagra, mortgages, penis enlargement, get_rich_quick schemes etc.) are killed by me before they make it to the list
Italian projects in newsgroups
Francisco probably has seen these already. The links point to my contributions to that thread (which is always the same, more or less) but in the left frame you can see the complete discussion. The links look the same because the forum software leaves out some of the (relevant) text, to shorten the link a bit.
