Weather caps for 3/8 antenna mounts, are they available?
Just curious if there are 3/8 blanking plugs available for keeping moisture out of the antenna hole when nothings fitted, for example when the antennas removed for going through a car wash etc.
I'm no expert, please take anything i say with a tablespoon of salt!
is there not a chance that if you screw a antenna in with it water filled and as you cant compress water it causing a hydraulic affect and going tight before it is home? would this not affect the swr?
freebanders do it anywhere

Me Again...
I have some plastic caps that come on hydraulic fittings to protect the thread. They come in various sizes. I used one to cap a Sirio 3/8unf stud I used a while back, they fit fine. Free to you my friend..how many do ya want?

No worries.
Do you want a plug or cap? What diameter do you require?. I ask this because there are lots of different types. I can deliver if you want as I regularly work at RAF Wattisham. If you want to keep your location a secret (I understand if you do). I can leave them someplace.

My 3/8 fitting has rusted up inside, it is probably as old as me!! So it has done quite well.
