I made the original inquiry about the nylon I found at the ace hardware store . 
 These little cylinders are the same size,shape as ceramic standoff insulators 
commonly used in amplifiers.  I was looking for a low cost replacement for 
ceramic standoff insulators made expensive by the "PARTS MERCENARIES" that seem 
to have infected our hobby today.
It is likely I will fork over to get ceramic as I don't want to take chances, 
with nylon melting ,softening. or crystallizing. What with big 
bangs,kapow,parasitics, spark gaps and other problems.  I will play it safe.  
Nylon goes back to ace.   what about glass?   

Nylon cylinders cost a quarter.        ceramic, well a lot more.
 
anyone know of a low cost source for ceramic standoff insulators,3/8" 
diameter,length 1/2"
or something similar.
