Plastic Fuze Inserts for German Mine Explosives

I would like to make up some fake explosive block for my German Mines. I now have a glass mine, concrete, and wooden shoe mine. I have pictures of the charges, but was wondering where I could get the plastic inserts that go in the charge so that the fuzes can screw in?
 
Fuze inserts were made from both bakelite and aluminium. I have made replicas from aluminium in a lathe. As the insert remains below wrapping paper it does not make any difference.
