Lots of us here use grommets from Mcmaster-carr.com. It's a big store so i suggest you search the forums for the right part number. They have will call in the chicago area if you want to save on shipping. Regular grommets and washers are available at Radio Shack, Home depot , Walmart etc..

Home Depot has some nice soft rubber grommets.

Look in the Bins in the Screw section.

Man , those online shops are a rip off! Home depot sells regular rubber washers 4 for .25 cents - grometts shouldnt be much more than that.
