lol last i heard he was getting yelled at from the
ole lady

i think i might have a good idea what he is planning!

my dad used to brew his own beer way back when i was really young. i remember there were bottling kits for wine of somesort and it came with corks and labels. pick up the phone book and have a look for a specialty shop.

Thanks guys!,,,,, and also, you may have came up with another use for them? LOL.
actually, I`m using them to put into a snowmobile`s crank balancing holes, to increase the crank case preasure. it already had them in it, but their very loose, and I can just see them falling out and causing problems. it all started out when the clutch seamed to hang up now and again last year, so recently i pulled it into the garage to clean up the clutch, and while messing with it, I heard what sounded like roller bearings loosely rolling around in thier cage/race. so i ended up pulling the motor, and when i got it apart, sure enough, the pto side outer crank bearing was totally shot, it had`nt siezed, and was`nt blue in color like it had got hot, but the cage that keeps the ball bearings spaced, was broken. So i got an $8 bearing, and put it on thier, now I`ve been helded up over these dang corks for weeks now. Anyway, I`ll look up some brewer places and see what i can find. Thanks again. AL P

Update:
Well after checking all over the placelike previously mentioned, I pretty much gave up on it. and went to the hardware stoe today to get some bolts, and just happen to notice a cabinet with a bunch of trays and upon closer inspection, i find that it is filed with just about every size cork you can think of. aparently, the worker that i had ask about them before, either just stated working thier and did`nt know they carried them, or thought i was talking about something else? at any rate, this is the closest anything to me almost, So I`ve drove all over the place for days, when i could have got them right down the raod! aRG!! well atleats i did finaly find some though.
