![]() Actually my point was that this is exactly the sort of market where there _won't_ be a large-scale source, at least not an open one. It's a market dominated by a few vertically integrated manufacturers, who have no vested interest in commonality of parts and _do_ get advantages from having design control over the parts they get. If nothing else it make it much more expensive for the guy down the road to start up his own operation. Consider that nuts and bolts were not truly standardized until around 100 years ago. Before (AFAIK) then manufacturers would specify by size, but there were no commonly used standards until the SAE got together and made it happen. As a result nuts and bolts became commodity items and the price went down. Understand what you are saying, but this item I am describing is pretty much standardized, near as I can tell. Soooo many mobile antenna manufacturers, including CB, use it on their 1/2" fiberglass rod based antennas, that I am pretty sure there must be a sizable source, somewhere. Ed |
