Kyle and all,
I saw an advertisement for a "Megs" tip that looks like it may be close
(that is why I asked for the dimensions.) The plus is that it is stainless
steel and highly polished so the concern of chrome flaking off would not be
an issue. As soon as I get dimensions, I will let all know what I find.
