Gold plated Dynaplate screw

Post by ricks »

I had to remove my Dynaplate and am looking for a source for the recommended gold plated bronze bolt for fastening. Does anyone know of a source for a single, gold plated bolt? I'd rather not have to spend the money (man are these expensive!) for lack of a bolt.

If I can't find one, how much am I compromising the integrity of the connection by using a standard bronze bolt? I don't plan on using it for SSB grounding - I am only re-installing it to maintain what lightning strike protection it provides and keep it as near original as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rick
