Default Need source for plastic stereo panel mount headphone jacks

Does anyone know where I can buy plastic encased stereo aviation headset jacks (not in metal housings) into which I can plug aviation headsets? The GTN 650 requires stereo jacks.The jacks cannot touch the metal airframe and I want to mount them on the sides of the cockpit behind the seats.

And another, the Switchcraft N-114BX (what I bought for my plane):

Note that the standard Switchcraft metal jack #12B is incredibly tough, and can be insulated from the a/c chassis with fiber shoulder washers like the ones from B&C. This page lists both the mic jack, the headphone jack, and the insulating washers:

Thanks Brian but I need them to fit the headphone and mic jacks on the aviation heasdet. This is a 1/8 inch jack.

I've never seen a 1/8" *aviation* headphone jack. All I've seen are 1/4" (0.250"). The *mic* jacks are something like 0.205"; slightly smaller than the headphone jack (see the B&C page).

If you're actually looking for 1/8" stereo headphone jacks (as for ipad/ipod/etc), that's going to be a bit tougher to find.

Jacks in all three sizes are available with insulated chassis. Fiber washers work good too. I installed my headsets with fiber washers and the 1/8" music jack with a part that had an insulated chassis. I don't have the part numbers handy at work, but should be easy to find with Google.
