Hi Tim and the group,
There are many ways to skin a cat, and I applaud your technical prowess (and 
patience!)in successfully assembling hundreds of PL259 connectors.

That said, many of us still struggle to install PL259s that are reliable and 
trouble-free. Me especially. (I have a bag of unused outer shells from PL259 installs I 
botched and had to toss.) But I've finally learned my lesson, so here are my current 
criteria for the "perfect" PL259. Others will have different priorities.
