Adapter Cable

[Marius1195]

In the process of messing with mounts for a Nagoya UT-72G I lost the tension nut for the cable adapter. The SMA (F) appears brass and the nut did as well. I am not sure if they are actual brass/gold or plated and does a replacement nuts material matter? I am thinking it does, but am not sure. I called BTWR and their tech guy is out for a few days. I'm sure someone here knows, last thing I want to do is fry my antenna or HT. Thanks in advance.

The nuts are either brass or a some other brass plated metal. If plated, the base could be aluminum or steel.

Thank you!

Stainless steel is very compatible with brass and nickel plating.  (Of course gold is inert so no worries there.)  So you'd  be fine using stainless.  Stainless gets along pretty well with aluminum too if there's any of that involved.
