Steve and jontz;

Thanks for those links. I don't know why I did not think about McMaster Carr, I have used them in the past for aluminum tubing to make FM antennas. They also have various types of plastic that can be milled or cut to size and shape to make insulators. Black Delrin plastic makes a good insulator for outside antenna driven elements. It holds up well to weathering and sunlight.

Now I need to figure out the approximate length and diameter of spring to get for this application.
