Plasma cutter wire standoff

Here is a quick tip - if you lose, break, melt, etc, the wire standoff, and need it NOW - I took a piece of 1" black pipe laying in the scrap pile, notched it for two legs. I slit the pipe so it would tighten on the ceramic cup with the hose clamp. Smoothed the tips of the legs for less friction. Picture isn't as focused as I wanted, but it should show what I am talking about. Only took a few minutes, and so far, it seems alot stronger than the wore one.
