RCA 6K3 Preliminary Capacitor/Resistor Research

Okay, punting back to the forum here since TubeDepot.com is pretty unresponsive about my information request.
Anyone have a good source for long terminal strips? They list a 26-terminal strip on their site, but I wanted to know how long it was to make sure it would fit the space available in the chassis to recreate the function of the candohm. So far no answers over email or on the phone. I'd like to make it out of one piece rather than have to potentially put additional holes in the chassis to accommodate several different strips. I was surprised just how ginormous these 10W resistors are.
Best wishes,
Roy
