The catalog I have shows a 5-1/4in diameter thru panel insulator.

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?
