Anyone got a line on tube caps that actually fit? I'm tired of the ceramic caps that "fit" 1/4 skirted pins (like on the 6KG6 and countless others). Electrically they fit just fine but they end up looking like they're floating above the tube. I've given up on caps like the one here (kinda small pic..):

..just impossible to find.
Searched around a lot on the net to no avail. What would be really nice is something that doesn't consume so much real estate on the top of the tube - attaching typically supplied caps to tubes with twin 1/4" pins can be a frustrating exercise. What would be cool is something like these "butt splice connectors"..

Problem with most of these is they aren't large enough to handle a 1/4" pin. I'm not talking a skinny 829B pin here - lots of examples of those on this forum. It's the bigger pins that are the pain. Any ideas/sources?
