Anyone know where I can find thin blue PBT caps?

It looks like you might be able to get a BCT set from SP

I think they have everything except a spacebar and the 2x '0' key on a numpad.

Why not thick imsto?

Just wondering your train of thought not questioning it.

IMSTO is a vendor here, located in China.  He's made many thick PBT group buys possible, as he's connected to a factory that produces and does dye sub legends on keycap sets:

His blue set is shown here:

Blue blanks are available through him directly or also on feng's eBay store.

A little bit OT, but are you suggesting that you can (affordably?) buy singles of anything on that pdf you linked to, from SP? I had no idea... that might make it easier to fill out a set for an oddball ergo keyboard...

Yes, you can order singles from that list.  I'd check with SP before placing your order that the caps you want are still in stock, as the list is only updated once a month or so.

here is the link to the whole page describing the process, and shows all the inventories of caps SP has.

Fong is away until the 14th of January, but you can try PMing him for a more local sale.  Otherwise, yeah, you can PM IMSTO.  Shipping from China can take a month via regular mail.
