J-Head Suggested items

Hi all,
I am having a difficult time trying to buy the recommended items that are suggested here for the J-Head Mk IV-B
[www.hotends.com]
I tried McMaster Carr but they didn't want to deal with me because I am not an established customer and border regulations.... Mouser shipped to me without question but they don't seem to have the PTFE Sleeving for less than 150ft. Creatron doesn't carry it either.

Any suggestions or alternative solutions?

Instead of worrying about the Optional extras,

I used the Capton tape as insulator for the thermister wire and aligator clips on heavy speaker wire for the heat resister.

I did have to use some heat resistand silicone to hold the heat resistor in place though. smiling smiley

Now I'm having problems with Sfact and/or Slic3r overstuffing and stripping filiment... sad smiley
