NEEDED: Stainless steel push on retainer rings for 3/16" rod. Who sells them???
 

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,
Ken, KC4IH
