Did you try Southside angling??? I'm sure I got some off of them about a year ago. Could have been when buying a mould but the lads normally try to sort out anything for you

get your hands on some stainless steel welding rods or wires anyone involved in welding/engineering will help you out and they are dirt cheap and can be got in the same thickness as the wire on the grip leads you buy .they can also be cut to any size you want-have been using these for years.hope this helps,
