Default Avo 8 terminal replacement

Hi folks,
I now have two Avos with a high voltage terminal broken off, one for which I am myself responsible, mea culpa, when it fell off the bench (largely through overcrowding), the other which arrived missing.

I guess it is a common problem.

When I broke the first one I left it like that, as finding a replacement doesn't seem straightforward. The problem seem to be the size and length of the central thread. These are black with a central banana socket. Has anyone sussed this out?

There are two differentb versions of these terminals: Model 8 MK II to IV and MK V 6 & 7. Both are fixed by a semi-recessed nut on the inside of the panel

The HV terminals will be at the same potential as the input - probably not too much of a problem on the DC side as the intervening resistor has such a high value but of some concern on the AC side.
