Someone I know wraps copper foil around solid wire, and after soldering
trims it and pulls out the wire. But in this case as well as the tube
one, I don't like that there is no mechanical support, just the solder;
compare that to the rivets.

The only version of this in the US I found is what I quoted at $80. I
didn't find any US distributor that has the exact UK parts, let alone
the price.
