I'm re-doing a chandelier with 12 lamps. The nuts (couplers) that hold the top and bottom on are broken. A regular coupler isn't working because there needs to be room for the wires. The old nuts look like a hex coupler with openings for those wires. Can anyone help?

Could you post a link to a picture of what you mean?
I don't understand most of the terminology you have used.
