there are no smiley faces on my IPOD so I could not put one next to my above comment, I am not really that much of a smart ass.

I make the eyes out of acrylic stock to the exact dim. of the originals. I also put a thru hole and a little counter bore in them so I can use a small ss nail to mount them. I like the clear acrylic as I can then paint the bottom of the eyes any color I want and the eye will take on that color. Time consuming but fun. Here are some I did several years ago. I really like making this plug but have not made any in a few years. I really need to make some more as they have all disappeared for some reason.
I am just about out of eyes and need to replenish my supply but I will bring you a pair this weekend Ted if I can dig a few up.

VT those are beauties
