T O Rodney,
I don't know of any retail source for the carbon disks. I got some from ArchaicArcane, and some from dead controllers. I never throw controllers away. Those little disks come in handy when you need to refurb one.

Strain Reliefs:
Those are a pain. I have found that once you get the wire situated where it needs to be and the relief on the wire you need to compress it with a pair of pliers till it's fully compressed, then push it into the hole. I have never been able to get one in the hole without squeezing it with all my might. But once in, they are solid.
