| I don't have any, but you might be able to make your own. Check out Antoine's fix-it tips. His latest one is casting a replacement peg. http://www.chordmaster.org/fixtips.html#07

Good luck, Aaron! I have the Polk-A-Lay-Lee -- the midwestern "clone" of the Swagerty ukes -- and when I broke one of the plastic pegs, I went on a several-month hunt for one. I finally got not one, but two, by checking eBay every day, finding a Polk for sale, and noting that the seller said he'd replaced one of the pegs with a peg "from a trashed Polk-A-Lay-Lee." I e-mailed the seller, and found the "trashed" instrument had two more red plastic pegs, which I bought for the outrageous price of $20 each. I mean -- $20 for a little piece of plastic? But where would I find another? Now I have a fully-strung Polk-A-Lay-Lee -- AND a spare peg lurking in my junk drawer in case I break another one. I'd suggest perusing eBay regularly, seeing if there are any Treholipee "projects" listed, or other "surfer ukes" with similar pegs.
Failing that, you might be able to make one -- if you're quantum-ly more handy than I...

| There was a movement afoot a few years ago to make replacement pegs. It fizzled out, as things often do, but it's still a good idea.

these aren't cheap, but you can get 'em in any color. https://www.shapeways.com/product/L2HSXD6BN/tuningthing?li=search-results-1&optionId=20968126
I bought some cello pegs and shaved their shafts down to fit.
