Looking for a very specific kind of jack.

I'm looking for a jack much like this one. It's a stereo jack that is closed circuit on the tip and ring contacts, however, I need one with the SLEEVE ISOLATED FROM THE CHASSIS.

Does anyone know where I can find such a thing? I would prefer non-PCB mount, but given the difficulty I've encountered in my search, I may have to settle and make PCB mount work.

Also, if anybody has any tips on putting an expression jack to control the rate of a Cool Cat Tremolo, I'm not too proud to hear suggestions!
For the expression, I think I'll just mod a used wah or something. Come to think of it, I will also need a regular stereo jack with the sleeve isolated, but I'm sure that will be easy enough to find.
How hard can it possibly be to put FRESH vegetables in a can? Seriously.

Possibly Switchcrafty #14B

and isolate the sleeve from the chassis using shoulder washers, my SKU 0608. I don't have a pic of those up, but they will do what you want.

Yeah, that's the jack I just got. While working on my TB FX loop, I realized there would be a problem...

Shoulder washers, eh? I hadn't thought of using anything to physically isolate the jack from the chassis. That will save a lot of trouble and headache. Thanks a lot!

Would this one work: Futurlec part #P065STSCK04: http://www.futurlec.com/Audio-65mm.shtml#P065STSCK04?

Or is this it at smallbear: http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=771?

Looks good, Jones, but I already have smallbear's switchcraft jack. I think I will go with his suggestion. I'll keep Futurlec in mind in case I have any other exotic needs. ;)
Thanks for the help, guys.

EDIT: BTW, I guess I should mention I am in the US. It looks like Futurlec ships anywhere, so it's all good.
