Matthew,

Mel Pinto Imports had a large selection of these in various seat post sizes. If I recall correctly, the manufacturer was Challey. (Or was that Challet?)

Anyway, I suggest contacting Wayne Bingham at MPI. He'll know what we're talking about and if he still has them: http://www.melpintoimports.com/catalog/index.php?osCsid;1e7a344e9a791350bbddf0aa146bff
