Here are two sources, you can always make your own....

GOOGLE will give lots of purchase options.
theres a bunch of sponsors of this site that would be glad to have your business.
Orthoman,
I realize this is not an answer to your question, but it is another option you might want to consider. Look up Dremel Bugs in the "Features" section of FAOL. It is an article written by Jim Hatch who is a regular here at FAOL. Anyway, the techniques Jim shows in his article will show you how to produce foam popper bodies to your exact specifications for about a penny each. Once you get the hang of it, (about 30 minutes) it will take you less than a minute to produce a perfectly shapped popper or any other shape you want. It's really VERY easy to do and in fact can be somewhat adictive. I wouldn't dream of buying popper bodies again, not since I read Jim's article.
Just a thought...

I agree with james. Its so much better then store bought cause you can customize shape, size and color. It really is easy to do and I agree it is addictive.
Check out your local Lowe's or Home Depot plumbing section. They are usually found in a drawer that someone can help you find. You can get exact sizes this way.

If you live around a winery you can scrounge tons of corks when they open the bottles for customers. Excellent quality cork.

Thanks, Bill, I guess my bad...I didn't know corks would be with the nuts and bolts.
