I prefer chrome plated brass for marine and salt environment over
stainless steel. With enough exposure and time, SS will rust. Brass
never rusts.

Cheers James, but where am I missing something when you say stainless
steel rusts? Wouldn't brass oxidize in a salt environment? Besides what
I am reffering to is the nuts/bolts holding the kit together. An
observant operator will inspect his kit yearly and make adjustments
accordingly.




CB'ers aren't all that observant.

Ya know mate you've been postng negative crap concerning cb operators
for the past several months. Whats up with that? I'm thinking, correct
me if I'm wrong, you have nothing better to do. Do you post on the
amateur ng's with any relative discussions?
