Hey Steve, haven't seen any, but I will keep my eyes open for some.
BTW, what size are the ones you have at work that are going in the garbage and can you grab a couple for me? (I don't mind the cutting fluid)

www.petwarehouse.com has them. Also, there are a number of people on the net that sell them.

If you cannot locate them, drop me a line.

I have to check again tomorrow as we are ordering metal ones to replace them as the students are a little heavy handed in there adjustments and keep poping them off.. well you can imagin the mess LOL

Hello,

Man, isn't it sucks that we always have trouble obtaining parts? I can't think of any one item that I use were made in Canada. All material, acrylic sheet, tube, screws, gate valves, nipples, jaco fittings, poly-vinyl tubes. Even the machines, routers, table saw, etc. My goodness. The list goes on.

and it is even worse on the Island Titus, everyone wants to rip you off by jackingup the prrice so much that it is way cheeper on the mainland but just cheep enuf it isn't worth the ferry cost. or they won't bring stuff in unless you buy a certin amount. that reflector material was a example, I neeeded 3'x 3' but they wouldent bring a full sheet to the island and have the rest sitting in there shop so I had to buy a 10' x 4' sheet.
Thats how it is over here and I am gettting sick of never being able to find anything I want, or haveing to order it in (not just with fish stuf, this is for my ordering at work also) I like to buy local if I can.

Steve
