Matt, welding supply shops call these "points". Part number is
Miller 020603 - local price in USA is $3.70 each plus 0.0825% tax.
If you can't get them, let me know, preferably asap, as I'll be in NZ
starting 02-22-98. I can pick up some locally and bring them with me
and mail them to you from Aukland, etc.
