[ale] Local source for pin-jumper?

[Derek Atkins]

So I bought a set of 2.54mm jumpers..  But then determined that what I
need is 2.00mm jumper!!  And AFAICT Amazon doesn't sell any of those..

Luckily I found the missing metal part for the one that broke and was able
to put it back together, so I'm in business for now.

But if anyone knows a source of 2.00mm jumpers, I'd love to hear it..
