	The ones I use are just standard style drain plugs that have a
little hole drilled out from the "top" (as installed) with a little
cylindrical magnet stuck inside.  I think they're just on the wall in
bubble pack somewhere between the "don't gotta remove the head" replacement
pushrod tubes and the chrome Type I generator pulleys at my VW FLAPS, if
you catch my drift.  Probably available via all of the magazine advertisers
that sell chrome 009s...

	I believe that Berg sells a magnet that you can clamp to the oil
pickup tube for a similar effect.
