Source for paper shop rags

I have a very convenient paper shop rag dispenser in the right rear service bay but have been unable to locate a source for the roll of paper rags to fit in the dispenser. The rag in a box sold at most auto parts stores are too long. Have searched the forum without luck. Would appreciate a source if they are still available. Thanks in advance.

I did call them some time ago and yes, they had one roll in stock but the price did scare me away. Didn't sound like they were going to continue to stock them but I will try them again. Thank you for the reply.

If you can't find the refills, I can recommend the simple blue Scott shop towels on a plain, old-fashioned metal or plastic paper towel holder. I use them at home over my workbench, and they hang from the ceiling of my coach's water bay. The ones in the coach don't fall off while on bumpy roads or anything, but even at home they can dislodge when pulled because the towels are tougher than kitchen ones and the holders let go too easy; make sure you get a quality holder with a strong spring, not a dime-store one.

Rick,
You should be able to find towels to fit on Amazon or eBay. They are called center pull towels.

I couldnt find them either. So I bought a box of the Scott towels at the parts house. They are long and the
diameter is oversize , but a little carving with a sharp knife , presto! They fit and should be good for the next
ten years.

Thanks to all. I resorted to using a box cutter and cutting the roll to fit the canister. As said I should be good for several years.
