Where to find Webley Tempest grips?

Hi all,
I'm looking for some wooden grips for a Webley Tempest. I can only find outdated sources and out of stock products. Can someone point me to some nice walnut grips or something similar? If it makes a difference, it's an old pistol from the 80s made in England.
Also, how do you hold this gun? Do you hold it firmly or loosely? I know spring guns are normally supposed to be held loosely, but with the reversed spring system this gun is very bouncy and I seem to have better results holding it firmly.

For wood grips you can try contacting Custom Pistol Grips by Andy (andy@andrewdavies10.plus.com). He is from the UK and you can see some of his work on the Woodfield Gun Care Products website. You ca also check out Ebay. There is an old fellow from the UK that makes Webley grips in his spare time and puts them up for sale now and then.. sorry I can't remember his name.
As far as shooting the Tempest I use a medium grip. Generally you need to let spring guns recoil but at the same time you need to have control. A tip that I picked up a long time ago, and it seems to work for the Webleys and HW45s, is that the middle finger wraps snugly around the front of the grip and pulls the pistol back into the webbing your hand. The ring and little finger are just along for the ride and don't exert any pressure on the grip.
