Versa Balltops, U360 Balltops, colors, threads, washers, HELP (please)!

Hi All,
Originally my cp had all Happ Supers with battops. I recently replaced two of the sticks with U360 balltops (red) - I really like the U360s! So I decided to replace the battops on my Supers with GGG Versa's - red. Here are my initial observations...
* The Versa "Red" is darker than the U360 "Red".
* The height of the balltops do not match exactly - the Versa is maybe 1/8 to 1/4 taller (mounted under 3/4 MDF).
* The original Super dust washer hole is larger than the Versa shaft (due to the plastic sleeve used by the Super).
I can live with the difference in the stick heights, but I would really like to match the balltop colors. I've been searching all the forum threads and I believe the ball thread for the Versa is .250 and the U360 is 6mm - so no chance of interchanging.
So... does anyone know of bright red balltops with a .250 threads or dark red balltops with 3mm threads?
As for the dust washers, I see that Randy sells replacement washers for the Versas, but they are made of metal and cost $2 ea. Any idea on where I can purchase black plastic washers for the Versas?
Thanks!!!
Update: I see that the U360 uses a Sanwa JLW base. I also found lizardlickamusements selling Sanwa balltops. The LB-35 (Standard 35mm size ball top fits JLF-TP-8T and JLW-TM-8) comes in dark red, but I'm not 100% sure it has the 6mm thread.
