MSR priming bottle

My priming bottle has died.
I am having trouble finding one and my Google-Fu isn't working.
I don't want one I have to mess around with when I'm cold and wet and tired and the little MSR bottle is what I am used to.
They are only 30ml capacity but what makes them work for me is that little dribble nozzle built in to the cap. Anybody help out?
Have one you aren't using? They used to be included in the maintenance kits but not any more. I have plenty od smallish bottles I can put metho in but none of them are as easy to use.
Back when I had a Primus 111 they supplied an eyedropper for priming, a right PITA and I don't want to go back to doing that.
The bottle needs to be soft plastic as I don't think the rigid wall of the 30ml Nalgene will work and those lids don't have the swinging nozzle

A used (expired) eye dropper bottle would do.
Failing that a search on ebay for eye dropper plastic bottle should do.

I have plenty of those. Not quite the same thing
$1:50 USD each
Available in the USA but I didn't want to spend $37AUD- on postage
Postage on 10 is the same if anybody wants to share

Would anybody be interested in a small metho bottle for priming or have most of you gone with canned gas?
If you were interested they would be $6- each plus postage. Which is a lot for a small plastic bottle but they are the best I have ever found for priming liquid fueled stoves

It's not the bottle that is important to me to tho; it is the particular type of swing nozzle cap.
I find I need that type of cap for priming the MSR or metho goes everywhere.
I need to use eye drops every day since my surgery, so I have a lot of those 15ml bottles, I just don't find them suitable for priming the fuel stoves.
Thanx for the link tho.
