Heavy duty injection ports in Europe

Hi guys,
Sorry for yet another "where can I find item x" thread, but I'm getting sort of desperate. These past few months I have been gathering supplies for my first bulk grow. I now have a pressure cooker, plastic monotub totes, a glovebox, all sorts of equipment to improve sterile technique, equipment for agar work, stuff for making/pasteurizing the bulk substrate, my jars and lids, etc.
I'm very excited to finally start this grow after a long time of reading up and gathering supplies. I am however still missing one item that I would really like to have: heavy duty self-healing injection ports for my jar lids.
I know you can use RTV or other methods instead, but I want to make some of these nice clean-looking plastic lids that have a whatman syringe filter and a heavy-duty injection port (the one on the left):


I had a hard time even finding these plastic jar lids, but I do have 24 of them right now, along with the syringe filters and red high-temp RTV. I do have other injection ports, but they look far less durable compared to the red/orange ones shown in the picture. I really want to make my lids with exactly those injection ports.
I've been looking everywhere, including the shroomery vendors (most of which only ship inside the US), ebay, amazon, etc. Shroomsupply has them, but I've emailed them twice if they were willing to ship these to Europe and have not gotten any replies back from them after a few weeks.
I have also found them on here: http://www.sciplus.com/p/lg-orange-stopper_50288 They also ship only within the US. I have emailed them about it but they also did not reply (it's been a week now).
If anyone could please point me to a vendor/website that can ship these to Europe, or that I could email to ask, that would be fantastic. I really want to be able to put these awesome jar lids together before I get cracking  Price is not an issue for me, I would gladly pay whatever extra fees it would take to get my hands on some of these.
Thanks!

Those filters suck for grain jars, they are great for LCs.
They restrict too much GE for grains.

I have similar ports in a giveaway in the marketplace here... If you don't have access, I believe you need 50 posts and 90 days on the forum.
I would make an exception for you, so PM me and we will work something out.
I definitely implore you to become more active here, and you will get much more support for things like this in the marketplace...

Thanks for letting me know. I was aware that these kinds of lids were being used mainly for LC, but I did not know that the syringe filters would be insufficient for grain jars. Makes total sense now that I think about it though. The reason I wanted to make these specific lids is because they looked so much cleaner compared to gluing tyvek or something on the top of the jar lids. I guess I will still make a few of these lids for LC, and decide on a different design for my grain jar lids.
I think I will make several of these for master grain jars:

For the transfer jars that don't need injection ports, I really like these, but would rather not use metal lids to prevent rusting after extended pressure cooking:

I guess I could also cut around the rim of the plastic lids so I end up with plastic rings that I can stick synthetic filter discs under, similar to these metal ones. Hmm, decisions, decisions..

Thanks a lot for the info and the kind offer. Like most newbies I've been a long time lurker on these and other forums. I'm only just getting into serious cultivation, so I guess I will become a bit more active once things start rolling. I'm excited to get more involved in this hobby for sure :-)
I actually have ports similar to the ones you posted: these are the ones I bought. They looked less big and sturdy than those heavy duty ones I was looking for and that I always see people using, so I wasn't sure if they would have many repeated uses. I have a bunch of them lying around so I guess I can always replace them once they get torn up too badly.

Where can i find those lids? If i cant, how do people inoculate the jars? Drill holes and cover with foil?
