My 160 meter ATU uses an old military box with the original behive feed thru insulator that is starting to crumble. I haven't been able to find a pocelin feed thu of that size (about 3'') and the ones on e bay are very small. Any suggestions for a source?

made from recycled milk containers, so the factory told me. Anyone who  wants
a picture, I'll send it to you.
