I'm looking for some binding posts that are easily insulatable from a metal chassis. Maximum price is $10 for a set of 4. And I'd rather not pay $33 for shipping to canada like parts-express wants. (Maybe if I call they could give me a break, as they have free shipping for US orders over $100, at least knock the amount it would cost to ship in the US off the total.) I'd probably order a boatload of them, especially if someone who has actually held them in their hands can vouch for them.
A couple ideas:
Mini Gold Plated Insulated 5-Way Binding Post Set 2 Red 2 Black
The Madisound Speaker Store

I used the cheap one's from partsconnexion.com. No cross border shipping involved. http://www.partsconnexion.com/product7483.html

I'd recommend the same ones as Jeff -- i have seen these on the backs of 5-10k commecial offerings. Decent even cheaper ones can be found as ApexJr.com.

Would be much easier to work with individual terminals. How do you insulate those ones from the metal chassis? Those would be great for speakers though. I have a few of that style already.
They naturally insulate from the chassis, you'd have to really work at it to get them to not. The mounting plates create an insulated sandwich. They are a pain to use on speakers.
They have industry standard 3/4" spacing and are easier to work with than individual posts. If you feel they are too close together you are probably using speaker wire that is too fat.

Have used these
4pcs Gold Plated Speaker Cable Terminal Binding Post | eBay
for a while, excellent product. Except... delivery time to Europe circa 5 weeks.

Solen
Maybe Solen? There have many different models from cheap to expensive. This is an exemple:

Connex 53466 or 53464 should meet all your criteria - I've used both of them and numerous others over the years, and honestly can't say I could hear a difference.

As Dave noted above, along with many of the higher priced Cardas, Eichmann, Furutech, Vampire, the above 2 both use standard 3/4" spacing on their molded mounting plates, which can make the use of monster cables and spades bothersome.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Mounting Dayton BPFI-G on metal panel
Hi:
Is it a good idea to use Dayton BPFI-G for mounting on a metal panel? What is the correct way to do it? Any hints?
I am hesitant as the post has only one shoulder washer with ~2mm depth, so it looks like the panel thickness can not be larger these 2mm.

The panel is 6mm thick, and the shoulder is ~2mm. I guess I need a blind hole on the back side to let the should work. Is my thinking correct?The shoulder of the post will center it (if you drilled the hole at the right diameter!), so it won't contact the panel.
