I found some at a local hardware store.
It's got to be a GOOD store, more than just plants and spray paint, look
near the nuts and bolt section. My store had many diff. sizes in plastic
pull out trays. I used them and like one of the other posts said you can't
slip them over the whole harness without tearing it up.
What I did was cut one side and then glued it back together with a product
made by Loctite. I can't recall the exact name of the Loctite product but
it contains just a touch of butyl rubber. I used this a long time ago on a
rubber exhaust hanger on a New Yorker and it was still stuck after 5 years.
Good stuff !

The rubber has disintegrated into little bits and there is nothing
left..... Any other ideas?
