Not sure but I think you might be able to get them at any auto parts store. The ones that I have seen are a bit flexible and they have 3 or 4 stiff wires running through a conduit type of sleve and the stiff wires at the end are kind of curved inward. And the part that you hold in your hand is spring loaded.
