[Reicher, James]

I have been using keepers and insulators that I found at my locally
owned hardware store.  Don't go to the big box stores, they won't know
what you're talking about.  I use an Ace store, because it's close to my
QTH, but any decent one with good selection of small parts should have
them.

Try Directive Systems:  http://www.directivesystems.com/

They carry the insulators & keepers.
