New  connectors for 7/8" as well as LMR 1200 are expensive.


Why pay good money for them.  As has been mentioned before on  this list, 
it's pretty easy to make your own from copper reducers and hose  clamps.  I 
used my own for years on 7/8 and 1 1/4 inch Heliax.  Total  cost around $3.  
Unless you're doing UHF it really shouldn't  matter.
