Source of "Ferel" terminals? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

In the past I've used these bakelite/brass terminals for all sorts of things - for example they're great mounted on a bit of Perspex as an impromptu dipole-centre when testing HF antennas or attaching a ground-wire to a galvanised-iron fence-strainer wire when out portable.

The screw-on cap is marked "5.5mm 250V FEREL" and the bottom part is marked "2113".

I'm guessing 'Ferel' to be the manufacturer's name. I'm down to my last remaining one, can anyone point me at a supplier?

Line taps.

TLC stock them or try your local trade electrical wholesaler.

Many thanks!

This is where people beat the Internet - those hours of trying to find the right search term that unlocks the puzzle!
