Default Pi-thon Locks, where to source?

I have been unsuccessful in trying to source a set of Pi-thon Locks (to fit with Samco hoses) for a 2003 Touring.

I have tried contacting Pi-thon directly but they have not replied to any of my emails. I have also gone through their entire list of distributors without success.

Is anyone aware of where I set can be sourced. I'm juts after the Coolant Kit.

Thanks.

PS: I've also used search on here and it came up with ZeeToys as listed supplier. They currently have none in stock.

Neither of those places have them. the last place I talked to about these said all they could get was black locks and they cant even get those now.

UPDATE:

I was able to contact David through the top email. Thanks 3FIDDY. He is out-of-town and will check his limited inventory on his return.

As I plan on Nismo CAI he has asked for the following dimensions to identify correct size locks for the intake - is anyone able to help me out with this as I don't have mine yet?

On the Nismo CAI can you measure the O.D. (Outside Diameter) of each end of the Silicone Sleeves as mounted over the mating tube or flange. If there might be a sealing bead on the flange I will need to know that dimension also.
Thanks in advance.

PS: I've searched and googled for this info and can only find the inside diameter. Is this the info I need?

EDIT: Thinking outside the box... As it's Nismo and plug n play install it should just be the same size (outside diameter) as stock...?

Nice one, glad David is still in business!, on the CAI, I have them but on a typhoon, and to be honest it was a little large so have modified them to fit... Best to get a size check off someone... have a mate inthe UK with one, I can ask him to check later.. Mark
