Trying to find where I can hold of what I would call plastic phase identifying lugs/grommets - blue or brown in colour and slides over meter tails to ident line or neutral (yes I know tape works too), I've tried every combination of words I can think of but keep comIng up empty.
 
I have seen cable ties of different colours used before.
 
I think you are talking about the 'thimbles' that they put on to stop you shoving a bit of 4mm up the side to bypass the meter?


Helps make the install look pretty and identifies the conductors nicely, but its actually designed for loss prevention.
 
something like this?:

Simmat like that but rubber/pvc and coloured
