Vtronix connector - where?

[MM5AHO]

Have a Vtronix hawk vhf masthead antenna (the type that combines a wind direction indicator).
I'm replacing the coax up the mast this winter, and want to replace the little plug (socket) that joins the coax to the antenna. Its a threaded socket type that intersects the pin iside the base of the antenna. The socket is crimped to the braid of the coax.
Any ideas where I can get one?

I don't know for sure... but Maplin seems to do everything but the kitchen sink... that would be my first place to check.

If you search connectors it brings up lots of marine grade products.

If its like the one on my Hawk, the little metal bit at the very end of the cable with a hole in the centre is not crimped on. It simply unscrews from the cable. It is reusable on new cable. I thought mine was crimped on and bought a replacement which I discovered I did not actually need.

Instructions below also has part number on it ACC158

I got my replacement from Foxs in Ipswich which is not a lot of use for you but they might pop one in the post for you.

From Vtronix (AkA Communication Aerials) perhaps? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

They sent me one so that I could use my existing coax with a new antenna.
Something like £1.50's worth of stamps if I remember correctly.
