Thanks Bill,
I don't see any stainless there, just zinc plated, dichromate and black
finish. Did I miss something? I may have to use the zinc plated since they
will probably last a few year longer than the black finish I have used in
the past.

I'm building a few yagis for 432 and two meters and need a source for
stainless steel push on retainer rings, sometimes called push nuts
(incorrectly) to fit element diameter of 3/16" aluminum rod. I know they
are made but cannot find a source searching with Google. Any help here
would be appreciated. I have the spring steel variety but they rust after
2 or 3 years so the antennas have to be taken down and the retainers
replaced.

Thanks and 73,
