Question supplier search

High ladies and gents

I'm on the hunt for something

tiny disc magnets - 1mm x 0.5mm

I have found some in the USA at 19cents each (16 cents if you buy 100)
but I would prefer a UK supplier

they are to be used to couple brake hoses and Steam and ETH couplings between stock.

They are glued to thin Elastic about 1mm in diameter for vacuum and steam but a little thinner for Air and ETH and loco jumper cable (for Multiple working on diesels)

anyone help ???

Yes and No

not thin enough I'm afraid 1mm x 0.5mm is the size I need and so far the USA seems to be the only supplier

going to try magnetic tape thinly sliced
