You can still get them. Aircraft mechanics use them very often
because of the long life and replacement expensve (and lead in the
fuel) for light plane spark plugs.

i recall, hundreds of years ago, you could buy a spark plug
cleaning device, this one made by Champion. It did a
sandblasting kind of thing and of course they sold the sand
too.

Joe's right, and it's OK to use Elmer's Glue on broken plugs. You
don't really want all 6 cylinders running at once anyways it uses more
gas.
(If they're new and fuel-sooty, and you get it tuned right that stuff
will likely just burn off in the next 500 miles. You could swish the
ends in a container of solvent or a squirt of carb cleaner might get
most of it off.)
If the vendors are on vacation, their voicemail or webpage should say
so, and a courtesy call back even too late doesn't hurt. Business
works two ways -- respect gains respect. I've had occasional similar
experiences. I tend not to call back those that are unreliable
communicators. A few people are part time, "kitchen" type operations,
or just plain hobbiests like me, and when that's clear, I'm far more
accomodating -- I'd want the same thing! Full time business though,
come on, answer the phone or return calls! (or accept email).
