Default Source for plug wire components

I need to replace a couple of plug wires on my '51. I have the bulk wire, but when I went to the local FLAPS, I was informed that they now longer carry the terminals and boots. I was kinda surprised by this because I didn't think things are moving that fast, but I guess they are. Well off to the internet I go, and I can't find them there either; similar stuff but not what I want. Does anyone out there know where I can get this stuff? I have enclosed some pictures. This was everyday stuff 20 or 30 years ago, but now? Obsolete.

Thanks Lanny, I only need two, but I could use a couple of spares if you have 'em.

Thanks Bill, That's them. Funny, I couldn't find them when I looked at O'Reilly's. I think it has something to do with "Performance" as the first sub-category. Can't buy 'em online (probably not enough value). Next time I get down to Brainerd, I'll stop by and see what it takes to have them shipped to the store. Lot of rigmarole for former "commodities".

I second on Brillman...seriously huge variety including traditional Rajah type fittings and wire of all original OEM colors, spec, and gauges.
