I finally located inserts to fit the middle hole in lifeline stanchions. Some of mine are gone leaving a rough edged hole in the metal.
They're Heyco SB-437-5 snap bushings. Heyco part number 2044 (white) and 2043 (black) . The specs are: Mounting hole size: 0.437 inches (7/16) Inside diameter: 0.312 inches (5/16) Length (or depth): 0.406 Head or flange diameter: 0.531 inches Amazon.com has the black ones: $10 + shipping for a pack of 250. The white ones were a bit harder to locate unless you want a quantity of 15,000. :) However, it turns out they are a common item used in antique and vintage lamp restoration. So, go to http://www.grandbrass.com/search.cfm and type "BG101W" in the search window. They're $0.20 a piece. Or they're on eBay $1.00 for a lot of 10. Search eBay for "200883492362". I just bought some from this seller. As I recall, hand swaged lifeline fittings will go through these with a little "coaxing". Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
