Tacos,

I'm temporarily in the McLean, VA area, and am looking for a local
source for electric fence insulators of the style in the very rough
attached sketch.  It is a black plastic molded piece, about an inch or
so tall and about 1.25 inches in diameter.  The central cylinder is
hollow for a nail or screw to pass through into a fence post, and it
is deeply ribbed, more like a stack of several plastic disks
concentric with the cylinder.  The 'outer' disks or ribs have a
retaining hook to hold wire in the groove.  I need at least half a
dozen or so to decorate my attic with 14 ga. wire so that it radiates
properly.  Alternative styles would be acceptable, but this is my
preferred type.  I've been unable to locate any but the more expensive
metal and ceramic type that don't hold the wire as I prefer.

I've checked the local Home Depot (7 Corners and Merrifield),
Hechingers, and McLean Hardware with no luck.  Any ideas for a source?
Anyone scouted the new Lowe's in Alexandria?  I don't know the area
well enough to know who'd have the customers for this.  I'll be at the
next AMRAD monthly meeting, or email me at kb8wev@erols.com.  Won't
make any Saturday lunches until after soccer season.

Thanks es 73,
Lee Lumpkin
