So why not use something ready-made, like this?

Thanks Lloyd, I looked & looked and could not find anything off the
shelf that would work. It's hard to get the right mix of size /
appearance & cost. Now I've got it sorted the they should cost me ~
$0.10 each.




I mailed you off-list with a suggestion, and the mail has bounced. Did
you see the post about making an insertion sleeve out of several
"leaves" of shim stock? After insertion, you draw out the leaves one-by-
one, so the diameter of the "crown" doesn't matter.
