Found the nylon bits at the local hardware store. Also obtained a grommet for anti-chafing gear for the grid cap wire. Replaced a bunch of components on the power and volume switches, figured out a few differences owing to the 6J8 tube... got as far as the band switch with a rat's nest of rubber wiring and thought, "this has gone well so far... I think I'll stop and tackle that fresh tomorrow." 
I figure 2-3 more hours into the chassis and I'll be ready to live dangerously and bring out the variac.
