Austin,I think I know what you're looking for,it would be the very
sturdy plastic ferrule that was supplied with the Eumig proj.
It was very durable and having tried the other centres.I found them rather flimsy,so I opted to look for something resembling
the Eumig centre I had misplaced.I found it in a plumbers supply
store,it is actually a push fit straight fitting in white plastic used
in central heating,it is the plastic insert that is used for your centre
the hole is exactly the std 8mm size and just needs a small slot
put in the end to allow it to fit snugly on your spindle.By fitting
a rubber washer over the end,it stops the spool flying off,which
can happen with some of these plastic centres.I've made a couple of these and not only are they completely trustworthy
but they look good too.

It's already made Austin,all you need do is make a small slot
in the end with a hot iron or knife to allow the plastic insert which
is your sleeve to fit onto your std 8 spindle and thats it.
