Tubeless Rimstrips

Can anyone advise please.
am after a set of rimstrips to convert standard rims to tubeless. I went Ghetto last year with some success (chopped up a brompton tube!)...worked ok for a month or so, but the valve base is too fat to sit flush on the rim...hence had some leakage issues over the longer term.
I don't want to drill my rims to make the valve hole larger,
I have seen the Joe's kits. Look good....But where on earth can you buy one with the 17mm-19mm strip width? CRC are out....no delivery date scheduled.
Don't seem to be too many other places and of the ones that I have seen not at that reasonable a price
Thoughts? Alternatives? Or any shops you know sell them?
Thanks

If you're in London, I saw some Stan's kits in either Evans or Cycle Surgery (sorry, can't remember which, but they are near each other in Spitalfields Market area). Maybe worth giving them a call - haven't got CS's number, but Evans is 020 7426 0391.My abundant supply of MTFU is reserved for use in dry, sunny conditions.0

you can make a wide rim strip more narrow with the wonders of scissorsWhy would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?0
