Hi Bron,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree that the commercial poured sockets are big and heavy. Instead of the big cast industrial ones I was thinking about making up some light, efficient sockets machined from high tensile steel and bronze (depending on where they're going). Using forked ends instead of the usual hoop could allow them to be much more compact and still give good access to the wire. I'd prefer to use molten zinc instead of the epoxy compounds.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
Regards, Paul
