2nd that. I bought the "4 hole mount" F jacks from China. Other
problems:
The center pin grip was too tight for F male connectors for RG179, the
pin broke off. Only a CCS RG6 conductor was tough enough to force them
open.
The threaded section does not have the chamfer for proper sealing to
connectors with internal o-rings.
Spend the extra few dollars for Amphenol is my advice.

Whatever you wind up with, make sure the UHF jacks (if it uses them)
on the enclosure are decent Amphenol jacks. I purchased a very high
quality filter a number of years ago, from Clifton Labs and the
quality was ruined because he used cheap crappy knockoff jacks. I
wound up having to replace them.
Off-shore knockoffs or from my experience, anything other than genuine
Amphenol jacks, have a slight thread irregularity and/or the center
fingers do not grip as well. The poorer machining precision makes it
harder to thread on a plug which can be frustrating. I was very
annoyed that the otherwise high quality of the filter was reduced by
the use of cheap jacks.
