    John, I made some from gas line tubing - the wall thickness was not the same, but close enough to look ok and hold the little metal spades ...

    That's certainly cheaper and better than my solution ... I guess I should have asked here when I was doing my lights!!!

    And I should have reached out to the lighting guru, John Audette!!!
