Default T Pin Parts Holddown

Many years ago at the Toledo Show I bought some 1/4" blue plastic cubes that were sold to be used with T pins to help hold down parts over plans securely. They work better than anything I have ever used for this purpose. They were sold in a sheet that was die cut to allow you to just pull them apart. Needless to say I have used to destruction, lost, and loaned these little guys until I am about out. Does anyone know if these are still available? If not what are you using?

I cross two "T" pins near each other but diagonally opposing for parts that are reluctant to stay down.
