Not sure where he gets them, but I buy mine from Ken at BFE.

NAPA store in Gardena, CA orders them for me, takes about 3 days.  Not all
NAPA stores are created equal though, as the one in Torrance apparently buys
them only from Fel-Pro instead of Chicago Rawhide, and Fel-Pro doesn't make
all the sizes that CR does.  Had the same problem at my usual FLAPS, Clark's
Discount in Bellflower.

I went in with measurements, but after finding the right sleeve by
dimensions, I noticed that the CR book actually lists the TR3/4 by
application.   ISTR it recommended a shorter sleeve than I had picked out,
so I went with the longer one.
For the Stag, there wasn't a sleeve that was a perfect fit, but the next
largest one was only a few thousandths too big, so I used it along with some
Loctite 'circular parts mount' to fill the gap.  Seemed to work just fine.
