Hi Shane,
I should have said Welcome To The Forums as well!!
StewMac do delivery internationally. I've just bought body ferrules from Guitarheads.net in USA, their site is worth visiting too!
I know what you mean about being nervous - I got flush-fitting rear ferrules for my project 7 string (BTW it's a bear trying to buy things like those in sets of 7, without wanting to buy two sets of six! Same with tuners etc, but with some perseverance....)
Since you're in Oz you could look up this guy from these very forums:
Perry Ormsbury
goes under the user name rhoads56 on here
www.ormsbyguitars.com
Here's an example of his stuff:

Check his website for guitars and parts, top stuff!
Hope this helps!

Thanks DJ,
I appreciate the welcome...I aim to be one of the info givers in a few years. This guitar project stuff is fun and I look forward to learning more. this guitar cost me around AU$900 all up (not including time though) which I could have a bought a relatively good new or near new guitar...but screw that... this has character and an awesome solid feel...better then the light rubbish guitars they are mass producing these days, but enough of a rant.
That is funny that you mentioned ormsbyguitars because I had drafted and email to send to them but decided to sign up to this site after finding it and ask so I wasn't hassling a store owner in case I didn't buy from him because he is a long way from my place... but it must be meant to be haha.
Thanks again and good luck with your project. That'd be annoying buying an extra set and only using 1 of it...but at least now you have the extra parts needed for 5 other 7-string projects haha, that'll keep you busy.
Shane
