I'm looking for some 8-pin DIL headers. They fit into a DIL IC socket, and they have slotted pins on the top, onto which you can solder components, wires and stuff while developing a project. Dick Smith, Jaycar, and Altronics don't seem to have them. RS has them in fourteen-pin size and upwards, but they are not suitable for cutting to size. I have a few, and sadly realised that I have had them for thirty years. Does anyone know if they exist and if they are available? Online, or by mail because I live in the bush. Thank you.

** A " machine pin " DIL socket can be used for that job:

The pins are strong and the holes will take a component lead.
