It was all pretty straightforward and now I have 4 new short ones and 2 new long ones. By the way, they do fit the Leads.
The Brass cost £6.70 with Postage, and I have some, but not a lot, left over.
The Heat Shrink was £3.99 Post free, and I actually used so little it's hardly worth counting. So I suppose they were £1 or so each so far.
Next some plug-in Crock Clips

Great post Alan - excellent end result!
That heat shrink is a bargain - a much smaller amount from the 'usual suspects' would have cost much more, and P&P on top too. The average cost of each prod is really quite low, apart from the fact that they're probably unobtainable now.
I don't know if you used Chronos to supply the brass - their prices are keen, and you'll know that they stock a wide range of materials and tools, but the P&P on small orders bumps up the total cost.
