Default Wing Tube Sockets- Where to get??

Any sources for 7/8" wing tube sockets. I already have a tube, but need the sockets. I know about TNT, looking to see if there is another source.
Thanks

Make them yourself with paper bags and wood glue.

Terry, I have gone to making my own. You can take you wing tube and wax it with a good quality carnuba wax and wrap resin saturated glass cloth around the tube. When cured you can place in the freezer for a while and then a firm twist will pop the sleev free from the tube. Here are a one that I just did in 7/8"

Very cool idea!!! So is the paper bag idea. That will sure be a money saver. Thanks.
