SG top hat reflector knobs

Anybody know where I can order some silver/black Gibson top hat reflector knobs for my SG Special Faded? (I didn't like the plain black knobs that came with it..)
I've checked the usual suspects (GC, Sam Ash) and they never have them in stock. I've checked Gibson's website as well, and they have listed them as "out of stock" for months.. I know there are other possibilities (Stew-Mac, GFS, AllParts, etc.), but I need to know if their knobs will fit... Here is the kind I'm looking for:



Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Just a note to say be careful...I ordered some from Stew-Mac for my SG Special Faded, and they didn't fit quite right. The knobs were a little too small for the pots, and in trying to get one on I pushed a little too hard, breaking the pot and putting a small ding in the guitar top. Not a big deal, it gave me an excuse to practice my soldering and the ding is covered by the knob, but it's worth being careful. I got some genuine Gibson knobs the next time to be sure, from Guitar Parts Resource. Looks like they're out of stock also though...
