The problem with Shavano's site is that for any given value, it will give a different core radius...which cause a problem if you don't have access to a lathe or some other way to precisly make a core. If your out by more than a wires diameter it screws up the value of the inductor. And with out measuring equipment who really knows what they end up with. The link below is neat cause it will make core dia. anything you want. problem with it is that you can bump the dimensions substantially and not change the calculated value or worse change the dimension slightly and move the value by 50% ! So in the end I did like everyone else and bought them (loser) lololol or worse again...make your own to some whacked out spec till the real ones get here.
