Biulding a head, need help sourcing parts

I have one cooper S cylinder head that I am going to rebuild. I have access to a flow bench and to a machine shop. I have found nothing in the way of larger valves or different valve springs and would like to know of any manufacturers that make these parts. The only "big valves" I found were on mini mania, and I am not going to put ultrik crap in my car for what they charge, however I am willing to spend money on quality. Any suggestions?

Endyn has custom valve train components designed for the MINI http://www.theoldone.com/components/ ; give them a call. I have 45K on a set of Larry’s valves.
