Close on the heels of that terminal strip thread, I'm looking for some nice 1/4" anode caps that actually make a decent contact and sit straight on the tubes. It seems like all the smaller ones are pretty much the same design,.. Cheap!

I seem to remember seeing some that looked like they were cut from a rod of teflon so they sat on top like a stove top hat (without the brim).

Maybe if I can't find any, I can make them myself and rig up a set screw instead of relying on the spring metal that I have to bend every time I pull a tube in or out.
Doing a nice neat job of boring a hole into a rod lengthwise doesn't sound like much fun though.
Hmm, maybe a nice plug of finished maple with a teflon tubing sleeve might work though,.. or ebony or,..a popes mitre!

Well, you can see how my mind works. Please save me from myself and tell me where I can buy the ones I'm thinking of!
