Ok this isn’t the typical cry out I have “X” rig and “y” radio and need “z” antenna.

I am looking for a good source for antenna parts.... specifically looking for antenna isolator washers. The plastic washer that isolates the 3/8” bolt from the mount. I have a home brewed antenna project that requires these and I don’t know how to search for them.

secondly looking for a good source of high quality coax, about 250’ in length.
 
Home depot or Lowes should have plastic washers if not Amazon does.
Yea $60 bucks in fuel isn’t inductive for a $0.25 washer... searched amazon, but I must be putting in the wrong word because I can’t find the specific washer I need.
The plastic washer is a special washer for radio use, I haven’t ever seen them used any where else besides the application for which I’m trying to duplicate.
 
Well finally after a week of searching I must have typed in the correct search terms and found a 10 pack for 6 bucks... way more than I wanted to pay since I need 24 of them for my project.

Do you need something like this? Firestick washers
