Ron, you might check your local store serving farmers. Farmers use
stand-off insulators for their electric fences, and they might have the
variety you want.

Subject: standoff insulators
Take #3...
I have looked and looked for a type of standoff insulator and cannot =
find
them. I have even written to The Wireman and a few other possible =
sources,
and nobody seems to have what I am looking for. So, I=92m coming back to =
my
=93ace in the hole=94 resource, this super list.=20
I am trying to find a source for standoff insulators that are about 1 =
=BD=94 or
so long, have a screw or threaded base that will allow me to screw it =
into
wood, and is rounded or looped on the other end, like an eye bolt, but =
that
end also has an insulator material, like ceramic or Bakelite, or similar
polymer with a small hole in the center through which I can thread wire,
like a #12 vinyl coated wire. I have seen such insulators in my life. In
fact, I have used them before, but that has been a long time ago. The =
length
is not too important; though I would like them to not be more than about =
2=94
long.
I hope my description is sufficient to facilitate your being able to
visualize and understand what I am trying to find. Do any of you have =
any
suggestions where I can locate such standoffs? I am working on an
experimental antenna and need them to thread my antenna wire through.=20
