Rubber parts/ideas needed

After painting the engine bay I realize I need a few rubber parts that may not be available, and one that surely isn't.

The brake line going through the fire wall has a grommet on it. Does anyone know if this is a common style or where I might find one?

Also, the brake lines are held on to various parts of the body with bent over strips of metal and rubber sleeves. Any ideas how I might do something like this without the metal tabs? Maybe some kind of cable tie down or something?

Finally I need to make a custom grommet for a strangely shaped hole I cut in the fireall for the Subaru harness cables. I recall on 914club someone posted an image and link of some do-it-yourself rubber compound for making custom parts. Any other thoughts on this?
