Going back on what we know as the DJ9BV Nylon Rivet style of mounting elements
which he learned from DL6WU, who had it from DJ6NS, this method of mounting
elements this method of mounintg elements is as well known as proven.
Mounting thin elements this way results in very effective lightweight Yagi-Uda antennas for the UHF bands. With a ratio of weight and wind load to antenna gain and -G/T that is hard to beat.
The Nylon Rivets are difficult to purchase and any furniture plugs must be drilled through one by one. But this methode offers unique RF properties. Hence I decided to have an injection mold being made.

New batch: slightly different plastic, grey color
This insulator is made from a UV stabilised plastic.
Elements have tight fit, hence a tolerance in element diameter is not tolerable.
Be sure your elements have a 4.00 mm fit. Boom bore holes shall be of diameter 6.0 mm sharp.
I do not wish to disappoint you when these insulators cannot be pushed over or have no grip
on non suitable elements!

A push rod of approximatly 8x1 mm is needed to hammer these into place and boom.
Please Note: New batch, slightly different plastic, a little softer
