Probably the most expensive source of big grips
around is Text Towers, however they do sell them in small quantities.
Why not contact the manufacturer - Preformed Line
Products (PLP) http://www.preformed.com/
This is the link to the catalog for what you may
be seeking: http://www.preformed.com/artsfest/files/ps/Sec20_PLPCommCatalog.pdf
All the specs and sizes are included as well as installation instructions
Here is link to their sale reps:

When I purchased my PLP Big Grips (some years ago
albeit) I bought them direct from PLP, but you
will have to bay a whole box which is 25 or 50 depending on the size.
Thimbles are available from several sources, a
quick search of Google for guy wire thimbles will reveal several.
As for the two sized are seeking 3/8"(2147) and
5/16"(2146) the correct model # information from
the PLP catalog is: GDE-2107 for 5/16" 7 strand
steel galvanized guy wire and GDE-2107 for 3 & 7
strand steel galvanized guy wire the PLP color
code is blank and orange respectively.
I have 14 of the GDE-2108 Big Grips available for
7'16" wire if anyone has a need please send me an email.
