You may have to go with solid flashes. Most of the jobbers carry them but you'd be well advised to call and verify that they are in stock and can be shipped right away.
I'd also suggest Matt's (Scottish Tartan Museum) traditional garter flash dealies if he has a color in stock that you can use. Last I heard they were awaiting a shipment.
Or, if tartan red works let me know and I'll let you borrow mine for the gig. Isn't "something borrowed" a tradition?
Here's a pic of one, a tad out of adjustment and cropped.
