      I’m trying to source 13/16″ core (expansion) plugs for the Elto Speedster.
      Only company I find in the US with them listed was Hubbard Spring,
      and they don’t stock them, but will make a batch, 100 count minimum.
      Did bother to ask them “how much”…… I only wanted about 10, and don’t
      feel like trying to sell a bunch!
      Found some chap in England that sells them, and when asked about
      “combined shipping” for more than “one”, he sent me a link for a 10 pack,
      to save money, but shown with expedited shipping for $35 dollars!
      I requested a PayPal invoice with the “cheapest” shipping available to the US,
      but I’m not holding my breath, lol.

      Anyone know of a reasonable, stateside place to purchase them?
      McMaster’s does not list the size I need.

      Also, anyone ever attempt to “make” their own core plugs?
      I could buy larger ones, but turning them down smaller might
      be a trick!

        13/16′ is a common automotive size so an auto supply might have what you need or be able to order them in.

        $35 for shipping? Ha! Now you know what us guys up here have to pay to get stuff sent up from the lower 48!

          I should have called O’Reilly’s Auto Parts. They list sets for auto engines, but
          perhaps they would have had them. At any rate, the chap from merry olde England,
          reset his shipping prices, so now I have 10 core plugs coming for $2.18 a piec total, which
          I can live with!
