supplier for P-lip stems?

Post by bscofield »

So, now that I know what a p-lip stem is, where can I get a supplier? And what about supplies for military stems? What do people cap the shanks with?

theres a lady (I think its a lady) that has been selling lots of new bits on eBay.....

I passed over 40 new p-lips about a month ago... I'm kicking myself everytime I consider how cheap they were in comparison with the Supply sources.
some days it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

The sellers user ID is: ithinkim

She currently has a ton of fancy stems .... 25 starting at $25.

I ordered some from JHLOWE here a few weeks ago. they are nice. but the ones I ordered ended up having the hole at the very tip of the bit.... instead of seated on top. Oh well. they are still nice stems.
