Thanks, Terry. I took a look at those and noticed that while they will allow 
screws to be entered in them at each end, they are solid in the middle.

I don't think that is too good for mounting a sphere or a small toroid to a 
TC. I was looking for those ceramic insulators where there are circular 
plates that get smaller from the base to the top-- like the kind seen on 
power poles and even on some poles pigs. I have seen someone use these on 
their small Tesla coils and I think they are really cool. :)
