Hi Guys
I do not believe you will find the "caterpillar" insulator with adhesive; you just have to use the right one for the materials it wraps around. The manufacturer of the grommet should have info regarding what the usual or best glue might be.
Plans to re-do things later almost never actualise. Once something is assembled and wired and functions that is the end of its story. It is just human nature and the world we live in. Time to move on to the next project.
It is always nice to find a local place to order hardware from. Larger cities usually have enough trade to support such places, usually catering to the auto industry and machine shops. In London, there is a place called Facca Fasteners that either had in stock or could acquire pretty much anything I needed. Here in Thunder Bay, one third the size of London, Intercity Industrial Supply can order anything Spanaur offers (they are a hardware manufacturer and distributor). Other places here with "fasteners" in their name or their product range tend not to have such broad sources as they cater to a niche of businesses.
Sometimes you do end up using online suppliers, and as usual, some places are only good for certain things. It is a learning process that is greatly influenced by what is convenient to you or for your locale.
