Get a piece of teflon, and drill two holes in it.
Last time I made an antenna, the shop which snold the
litze wire, also sold 2-holes blocks in plastic.

I am looking for a couple of insulators for the ends of a long-wire
SSB antenna (_not_ a backstay). Glass insulators with a hole at each
end used to be common, but I haven't seen any lately, and Google
doesn't seem to help much. Any leads appreciated.

Try your Google search for "egg insulator" Most of these are made of
porcelain. You can also try any ham radio supplier.
