Phenolic board is probably the best solution. Not cheap, but reasonable, and readily available. You have to tightly control the dust from machining though, the formaldehyde that is used to make it is bad for the repiratory and nervous systems.

Ive got one of the 4 terminal ones at home. Ill post up some detailed shots of it. I bought mine from the UK for a very decent price. I was thinking of buying some more just for the hardware but the price they are wanting for them is in my mind steep.
Id still like to find some decent pictures of what the 2 terminal strips looked like. I believe they would be easy to make up with just the possible engraving being an issue. At least for my skill set.

I dug out my strips. I have a single post (unmarked) and a BATTENS TERMINAL 2-POINT No.1 ZA10120. The latter is British and has those odd tall wing nuts. It is dark brown bakelite and is quite wide and thick. Looking at my HUW reference material, I see the two post ones are quite thin and probably no more than 1/4 to 3/8" thick. Even better, the wing nuts are the regular North American stamped type so are still readily available (probably NC thread instead of BSF but I can live with that). The remaining question is whether these were in fact lettered and, if so, how and with what nomenclature. I can duplicate that using the same style as on the 4 post unless better information becomes available.

Bruce can you post pictures of what you have. I'll post photos in the morning of the 4 terminal one.

Same material we find in old school electrical transformers during rebuild work. When I worked at ABB Guelph (Former GE) we had lots of this stuff kicking around.
This material would be best shaped using water jet cutting to eliminate dust and to obtain smooth edges. Bruce, is the lettering inset, eg engraved or silk screened?
