HI Ian--

Costech (US) has them (aluminum) for their set up.  Also IVA (Germany) 
carries them--but not under the "ferrules" section of their catalog, you 
need to look in the "Gas Fitting Systems".  Elemental Microanalysis (UK) 
may have them too--but you'll need to check with them directly.

happy hunting...

take care

gerry
