I've found some BT30 wipers available locally/online and that should fit an R8 profile

Also was looking for MT2 & 3 cleaners; especially on the MT2, its hard to get to the back of the taper with my fingers Even the Asians dont sell these (that I can find)....sites I found are almost entirely out of UK/Europe

Anyone have a North American source without paying $100?!?
 
I bought one for the haas spindle at kms they could probably order in some or 3D print some with slots for some felt.
 
There's a vase cleaner you can buy at department stores, or a recorder cleaning mop at a music store. They are a wound wire with polyester or cotton wadding on the end for about 4 " or 20 cm long
here's a picture:
