Had a look through their website and didn't manage to find what i want.
Ideally I would want something plated or stainless.

They're called FLANGE CLIPS.
If you're wanting stainless or high quality plated you'll need to look for Marine applications.

Probably called many names, in electrical crap, Beeline clips, available in a wide range of flange sizes and "cable" sizes.
That said, don't think I've seen any of those go small enough for what you want. Plus they're usually shit looking

bit of protective wax over them too after fitting. Whatever you clip them too would need some protection as they can bite in.

Found some!
I'm making the assumption they are plated, but will stick one in some water and see if it rusts...
