Every now and then one will show up on eBay which is suitable for the socket.
I'm not sure if the LC II will actually use the FPU if you put a socket there. Remember it's that crippled design with the 16 bus and 32 bit CPU.

Looking at the data sheet for the 68882, available from FreeScale, the '882 can be interfaced with an 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit bus and it even shows how. Heck, if you really wanted to, you could add an '882 to any classic Mac without one.
