Angry Silly engine bits!!

I've taken the engine out of my car to sort out a nasty exhaust leak, re shim the valves, change the crankshaft oil pump seal and fit new timing belt. Anyway, while walking from my house to the garage across the DECKING with a tray full of freshly cleaned bits n pieces.......... I tripped and some bits ended up falling down between the slats of the decking. I tried for the best part of an hour and got most of the bits out with a magnet pen but didn't get all of them. So if anyone has the following I would greatly appreciate it!

Heres a pic of the exact bits I need.


I'm looking for

1. A large outter shim 2.30mm thick or bigger
2 5 camshaft cap bolts,
3. 4 rocker cover bolts and rubber gaskets

Surely someone has these lying around in a their garage????

PM me please

Cheers

OK................ got the bolts sorted however the shim i received is to large in diameter, so doesn't fit in the cam follower/bucket. I wasn't clear at the start of the thread tbh so here goes again.

The shim I need is one that is 30mm in diameter and 2.30mm thick or thicker as I can surface grind it to the required size.

Please someone help
