At the moment there's some black Tolex on UK eBay from a seller in Southend, who may well be the guy you refer to. Here's the item reference:

This particular piece is on auction but he says other sizes are available, so it may be worth contacting him through the link on the listing.

Otherwise vinyl upholstery material similar to Tolex can be bought from a variety of suppliers. Try John Lewis to start with.

Evo-stik is the best adhesive for the job. Takes more than just one little tube!

Regarding grille cloth, Maplins keep some in plain black in three thicknesses.
