I've found a whole bunch of that kind in local canadian store, called
Steveston Marine (cheaper equivalent of West Marine, which also must have
them).  Many different sizes, prices from CDN 3 to CDN 4, black or white,
called C-clip or something like that.  Some have narrow walls, like those in
the link, and some - about 1" wide (like 1"cut off plastic tube of required
diameter).  All of them looked very fragile to me.  Velcro idea looks much
better.
