Rod building supplies

I didn’t see a rod building sub, so I’ll throw this out here.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve built a rod and I don’t remember things so good. Where are we going for grips and guides with pre-filed feet? This is for graphite rods if it matters.
 

I like Snake Brand guides, they don't need filing down.
I have liked to make my own grips from cork rings, but it seems everyone is out of the good quality cork rings lately.
 
Thanks. Proof looks great. I've used Mudhole, Hook and Hackle, Olde English Fly Shop, and Utmost in the past. I'll be building from 5 wt up to 10 and 12 wt salty rods.
 
A couple of rods from NFC, including a 7 wt FAF and a 10 wt iconoglass. Doing a repair guide for a friend's rod.
