Plasti-gauge used to be dirt-cheap at JCWhitney (US). Why don't you give them a try?

Try www.jcw.com or go to http://www.xs4all.nl/~sotty/car/Plastigage.html
Contact them about it. The stuff is dirt cheap and worth every penny. Keep it in the fridge after you buy it.
To answer your other question, I've got it 2 or 3 times from them, when I visited the US.
