I have literally hundreds of 12 & 14mm in both "crush" or "flat" style in my
hardware stash, but I've never had any 16mm (no call for them), but I can
source them within a few days.

So for the immediate moment I'm no good in the 16mm department.  Besides, I
think Allan would prefer a closer, more local source.
