Source for crank remover tips?

I lost the tip you use to remove splined cranks for my Pedros crank remover tool. I have sent an email to Pedros but I'm wondering if anyone else has bought one from somewhere else.
Thanks

Needs something to push against...axle inside BB, push against left arm to get RH one off, crank bolt back on BB, take other side off. There are plugs out there too, shimano 7700 cranks came with one.

I've heard that dimes are about the right size (use 2-3) but I've never tried it.

Maybe just find a washer or carriage bolt that is the right diameter. I have one of the plugs you can stick in the BB spindle, it does the same thing a washer would do, just gives something to push against.

I have done this, and severely bent the dime. Got the crank off, but I would go with a thicker washer.

I lost the 4mm t handle hex from my pedros set and called them to buy a replacement. Customer service sent me a new one for free and CALLED to make sure it got there. Customer for life...

Thanks Guys!
CS from Pedros emailed me yesterday evening and said they will mail me a replacement tip.

Thanks Pedros!
