Do those companies sell directly to consumers in small quantities?

That's a gray area, but let's say no. My thought was to find a part number,
which he could then call any one of a dozen people up with, and ask if they
have it, without giving a long explanation. In fact, maybe the first place
he should go is the Belden web site, they may have a recommendation.

Checked Belden first, before I posted. I formed the opinion that it
should be illegal for wire companies to sell RF coaxial cable for
which there are no connectors. ;-) As far as I could tell, Amp and
Amphenol didn't have anything, but Bowmar did. Bowmar seems a bit
hungrier, or else is just set up to run semi-specials. I found them
willing to talk with me about special BNC configurations that would
only sell around a thousand a year, for example, a few years back.

Actually, there may be a simpler solution. Put about a 4 - 6 inch length of
heat shrink tubing over the jacket to build it up , and use a normal
connector intended for 9913. There may be a problem with an RG8 type
connector, in that the center conductor may not go in the pin hole.

Yes, in fact that's what we have done for now. Two layers of a
particular heat shrink made a snug fit to the clamp nut on the
connectors we already had, and that let the connector assembly work
properly. Much better than the mess the 'lectricians made on the
first try.
