Default Where can I buy spokes?

I need a spoke for my Serow rear wheel - its a carp design wheel with 4 different spoke lengths and none of them straight pull, so no wonder they break.

Here is a picture of the one I need,


Its 180mm long before the turn, and approx 3.2mm diameter.

I can get a complete set from Yamaha, but that will take umpteen days/weeks, and will cost approx £60 after import, vat, vat collect fee yada yada.

Anyone suggest where I can get odd spokes to order?

(Anyone have a big bag of misc spokes in the garage to rummage through as well? )

Theres an old bloke that does em up here near Chester le street. My mates rebuilding his dads old honda and had the wheels stripped new spokes (where needed) and chromed for £200. Notice on your Avatar your miles away but it might be an idea to see if any Classic bike clubs / forums have anyone they know and trust
