i replied to a thread on cpf about these and folks were happy to find a source of good holders.
figure its worth repeating here.btw digikey offers first class postage on light stuff that can go at that rate.no shipping gouging on small orders.

The link provided returns a 404..page not found.

copypaste error.
cpf forum software shortened the displayed link but would still take you to the target if clicked.
