Yes from him above, or Local Bike Shop, or online shops such as CRC. There are a few style.
Mates and Local Bike Shops may even just give you them as they come as spares with modern mechs.
 
thats where i get mine from :D only get binned other wise. have got sram or shimano ones in most sizes, and a the cheaper shimano ones are just bits of curved aluminium so fit 99% of mechs.
 
Yeah just go in your lbs. Modern mechs generally come in the largest size with two sets of shims for the smaller sizes. You lbs should therefore have loads kicking around.
