Try murrays.com I got all the rigging and trap wires for my solcat from them. It all fit great.

It's incredibly easy to build your own. Just go to west-marine, someone can basically walk you through what needs to be done.
You need
Some wire (get a few feet longer than you measure if you arent replacing pre-existing trap wires, then you can cut it down) and a few thimbles.
bend the wire over the thimbles, and crimp it together with a swage & Swaging machine.
Ta-Da you're done! -

It sounds simple enough to make your own and I assume cheaper. But...
Where would one find a swaging machine and how do they cost?

It's not worth you buying one, for the cost and how much you'll use it, you're probably looking at $80 ?
If you go to westmarine, they'll swage it properly for you for free
