Half hollow steel balls

| 1 forum posts | Hello, I'm looking for half hollow steel balls, or caps. O have a picture of exactly what i need. But cant figure out how to insert it here? It arrived accidentally in a batch from China, and they have no idea where it came from, so can't supply more. Its basically a half steel cap- Imagine a metal hollow ball, cut in half. I'd like some in various sizes from 10mm to 40mm. They seem spectacularly hard to source. Does anyone here know where to look? |
