thanks garvin i will ring them morning
They are closed on Mondays, but otherwise exceptionally helpful and generally great.
There’s always the E B A Y option, or call round the 10M specialists (e.g. Checkmate Guns) - who knows what some of them may have in the back of the stockroom. And there may be members on here with a few they can spare, too.
I bought mine from Intershoot:

[EDIT]
I just checked back in my email and these were the ones I ordered for my 300s

I have a nice 16mm Perspex front element with a 3.4mm hole that will fit a 300.
If you want it pm me your address and I’ll pop it in the post.

zeroscore,
I got my FWB perspex inserts from Nikkonos on BayOfFlea.
I now use Centra High End glass elements - these screw directly in the FWB tunnel : I use them on my FWB300 (not 'S') and 300SU, and they work a treat :

There is also a chappie here on 'BBS - harvey_s, that makes custom perspex sight elements to order.
Have fun
Best regards

Hi mate sorry for the delay in replying I had to double check the size, they are definitely 18mm and fit my foresight perfectly.
Mine is a never modified and owned from new club gun, that I managed to pick up when they were migrating to PCP for the 10m shooting.
Thats a damn handy bit of info about the Centra's thanks Russ
Per your original question...the OEM factory metal inserts fit on an internal "shoulder" which is independent of the sleeve size. I recently learned FWB inserts are actually identical to vintage Diana and Walther ones. Rather counter-intuitive (Walther and Diana sights are M17's and the FWB an M18), but I verified they do indeed interchange just fine. Hopefully this will widen your search field; you can still buy new sets for Diana sights.
