Not sure what size your looking for...
Make your own custom tips.
A foot of 316ss will last a long time, not cheap.

Ack...I see I should have been clearer. What I actually need is the small "caps" (oftentimes red) that cover and seal the end of the oiler. Michael came close with precisionoilersplus, and they have a bunch of this type stuff, but not what I actually need. I may use them and go another way as a fallback.

Make a hole in a chunk of O ring and stick it on there...
Cheap.

John,
I find them on the floor when I'm at the track.
I made one by drilling a hole in a piece of plastic from a car model parts tree.

Slick7 531...Eagle is out but ERI still has 3 cards, given the status of Slick7 we may not see more.
I've got a card on the wall but as was noted, there are usually more on the floor mixed in with the body clips.

I do not know about Slick7 but Rudy Garriga has been pretty involved with other electric vehicles.

Tim nailed it...but getting them is the thing. I can improvise, but would rather not.
Rob, I have plenty of oilers (*I actually use syringes for better measuring), I only need the tip caps...er "scabbards" (thanks Phil!)
