Lost HMC150 Mic Foam

[Hunter S. Thompson]

So it appears I lost my HMC150 mic foam. I want to buy a dead cat made for the on board mic but it says that it first over the supplied foam? So doesn anybody know of a place that sells the replacement foam or can I just use something like this:

I don't know about the HMC150 windscreen particularly, but I can tell you I've had dreadful luck buying cheap foam windscreens of dubious origin through eBay. The foam is of poor quality and discolors quickly, then completely deteriorates and turns to powder after a few months (presumably, it's worse if you expose them to sunlight, but I've done no formal tests). Spend a couple of bucks more and get one from Windtech (available through B&H or most of the big audio retailers). Although no open-cell foam product is immortal, those seem to be good for a few years, at least, and are a much better buy in the long run.

I'm just going to pick this up. Thanks for the help though, I'm glad I didn't buy those now.
