[TowerTalk] Vertical antenna top loading "spokes"

[ko7ss at yahoo.com]

I just received an 80/40 top loaded vertical from a manufacturer known for missing parts (MFJ) and
sure enough the 8 X 27" top loading spokes are not in the box. It is an MFJ-1792

I have a Cushcraft MA160V and I assume the missing spokes on the 80/40 antenna are of the same
material?

I want to get this antenna up and probably only need 8 X 24" spokes. What is this spoke made of?
1/16" (0625") inch stainless steel rod? My station is 45 mins from home and I'm want to buy the 
material before heading up there.
