Call the lab you'll be dealing with, they should have piles of them. You'll also need spare cans and black bags in the event that you end up with a short end, or are forced to create one if you get a film jam.

Or perhaps these guys can help you out: http://www.no-w-here.org.uk/

Hiya, are you after the plastic core or core adapter? I have a spare core lying around and I'm uk based.

That's the worst. When you open that mag and realize you need a core. Next time you're at the lab grab a handful of them and keep them in all your bags.
