In the UK Rex Ward is the CCKW / DUKW go to guy. Other than that I would buy the components from a motor parts vendor or auto electrician and make up my own. I prefer the old black plastic covered copper wire to the silicon party coloured lead material in vogue today but that's just a personal choice.

Hello Bodley123,
Like David, I too prefer the more stock looking offerings. I made up a set myself using solid core Packard 440 ignition wire, purchased from these guys:

This is very high quality, solid core cable. The insulation is made from modern materials, but it still looks pretty plain on the outside.
Terminals and boots can also be purchased through their catalog:

Having the correct crimp pliers helps in crimping the terminals on. Although I would still solder the conductor to the terminal, just to ensure a solid connection.
I believe they ship to the UK, but you would have to check with them directly.
Best Regards...
