Me, I'd go with the classic GB bar plugs. Now, a chap was selling these by the boxful (10 in a box) on eBay for ages so maybe someone here bought some and can sell you a pair. They are white with the expander screw. And I'd like to say they are British-made. But oddly they aren't.. made in France!! But still Hetchins-worthy.
