Default Flex Collet

Where is the best place to buy flex collets? Also where has everyone found to be the best place on-line to buy boat parts?

Ok, here is what I have found out so far and need some help. I used a caliper and found that my collet is in fact 4mm. My motor shaft is, however, 3mm. The collet is very loose on the shaft. My motor shaft already has a flat spot on it for the allen screw. Is there anything I can do to correct this re did I get a bad motor?

Thank you Basstronics! Now I have to figure out the one I need. [X(] It was good to know the other stuff also.
